This morning dh had an apointment in a small city near here, about two blocks from my LSS. Before we left, he handed me a $100 bill and said "Get yourself something for Christmas at that store." I emailed the owner, told her what he said, asked to be surprised and that I would be able to pick it up by noon. When we went there after his appointment, my gift was wrapped in holiday paper and when I paid her with his bill, she printed the receipt and put it into an envelope so i wouldn't see what it was. The parcel is now under our tree. Hmmm.... Wonder what I am getting for Christmas?...
Any scrappy gifts for YOU under your tree this year?

Aww, that's a great story and a special treat for you to be surprised on Christmas morning! Can't wait to hear what you got!
The only scrappy thing on my wish list is an ergonomic exacto knife. I'm scared to use mine and hope that this style gives me more confidence (if Santa brings it!).

Just one scrappy/card making items under the tree this year. A large set if Prisma colored pencils. I enjoy my alcohol markers and decided to give colored pencils a try!
Then in my stocking I asked for some tape runner refills and Tombo Mono glue.

I'm excited for you. Please come back and share what you got. You are very trusting. No way I'd let someone else blindly spend $100 for me. Maybe I am a control freak? Haha!

How fun! I hope you love everything in that box!
Please share with us after you open!
ETA: I have some TE ink pads under my tree from my DD. I got to choose the colors so I didn’t duplicate the ones I have.

I attend a couple of crops she hosts each year and every couple of months spend a few hours scrapping at one of her tables. She has seen alot of my pages under construction and also has a way of checking what I have already purchased from her. |

I love this! No scrappy goodies for me this year, but I am hoping to get a few treats in any Boxing Day sales.

I gave my family links to my wish lists at ACOT and Scrapbook.com. I’ve gotten emails from each saying that my order has shipped. I didn’t look at what they bought or how much they spent, but I know they orderd😀

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. I've been away for a little while with some health issues and family things. But I still think of you all and hope you continue scrapping and inspiring in 2024.

I got an EasyPress 2 12inch by 10inch during Boxing Day sales for a really good price. It's my Christmas present but since I wanted to make everyone t-shirts, I got it early.  |

Can't wait to hear what you got grammadee! I didn't ask for any scrappy presents this year. But I did get some GCs to my LSS which came with a 20% bonus for a pre-Christmas promotion, so now I just gotta wait until the new stuff I "need" arrives. It's hard not to spend it right away! |

She has seen alot of my pages under construction and also has a way of checking what I have already purchased from her. That was my first thought, too, so I am glad it sounds like it will work out well for you. When do we find out? I got a Cameo 4, but it was a combined Christmas and anniversary gift. |

I will post a pic in the morning of the box of mystery goodies and the "Look What I Made" sign that will hang on my scraproom door. I also received a bunch of M's gc's.
Plus some tickets to a couple of events that will ensure I have some photos to scrap, so I am a happy camper.

Here is my surprise package. It includes a Mintay collection that is more vintage for scrapping dh’s childhood pics, a Simple Stories card kit, a sheet of laser cuts to go with camping photos, some adhesive, and Pinkfresh black detail ink pad and reinker that I was looking for in November. And of course the Winter SCT magazine.  |
