day 2

the challenge:  buy only local, hand made or secondhand for Christmas this year

ever had that experience when you are fasting or prepping for a "procedure" (aka colonoscopy) and suddenly food is all around you?  TV, magazines, kid's breath?  Yeah, now I am inundated with ads to buy this online, wake up at the crack and stand in line, we make it E A S Y.

day 1

I threw down the gauntlet and issued the challenge to buy only local, hand made or secondhand for Christmas this year and immediately I started obsessing about what to get mr. abode for Christmas this year.  He likes "perfumes", ties and shirts from The Magic of . . . stores - nope, can't do that.  I think I'll make him a robe!  i have a basement full of fabric all of it perfect for little girls and quilts, I wonder how he'll look?  Good first challenge to put my money where my mouth is!

stay tuned

can I do it?  resist the urge to park my butt and shop online or run to the BIG BOX stores, can i resist the red bulls-eye, the blue light, the x-mart this year and have a local lizard shopping experience?
