Photo of the Week - December 14, 2008


Friends,

This past weekend was filled with holiday prep...parties to celebrate the season and gift giving. Becki, my little sister, and I had fun at the Big Brothers Big Sisters holiday event. Decorated cookies, picture with santa...fun at any age. Jeff and I also went to a holiday party and had a great time enjoying the festive mood.

My shopping (although not anywhere near complete) went well. This week's photo isn't so much about what I bought, but the experience of finding a hidden treasure. My Friday night church group exchanges 2nd hand gifts. I headed out to two outlets of the Salvation Army to find 10 dollars worth of gifts. Sure, there was a ton of junk to sort through, but I was amazed by both the great buys I found and the fun I had along the way. I'm a huge fan of the 2nd hand experience. Great break from the somewhat overwhelming commercial glamour of Christmas at the mall.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Reduce, REUSE, Recycle!
