***Holiday Recipe Sent/Received***...COMPLETED!!

[Nancyg56]

I see I wasn't the only one having a horrible time finding Christmas stuff. Ugh, I was getting so frustrated. Seemed like the only things I could find were Halloween related, with a bit of "Harvest stuff" thrown in. This was the first time I have ever joined you gals with this, so this year I'm planning ahead!!!

I will stock up on Christmas stuff this year and will be all ready to make a slammin box next year!!!!!!

I was surprised how difficult it was to find Christmas things. I stopped in Marshall's and hit the jackpot . Every other store had Halloween and Thanksgiving but no Christmas.
