I've tried to be quiet; It's impossible.


 

Poll

Question: With economics being as tight as they are for so many, do you plan to include friends and distant relatives in your card and gift sending this year? Or are you going to attempt to save money by doing less shipping?

Options:

It's business as usual for us, this year.

I'll be sending less gifts, more/same amount of cards.

I'll be cutting back on cards and gifts because of the cost of postage.

No cards, no gifts will be shipped by us this year!

We cut WAY back a couple of years ago and will keep with that. There will be more homemade things but those are better anyway. It just means less time to sit and "chill" and look at the try and more time creating but  that's okay too.

Ordered our cards from Shutterfly and only sending baked goods and giving pickles and baked to local relatives. It's my frugal way of still giving and well I just love to bake.

This year: Potato chip cookies, Raisin Molasses Gems, Pepper Spice cookies, Stained glass cookies as well as Fantasy fudge, peppermint bark and almond roca. Will take me all next weekend to do but sooo worth it !
