Yep.

For us it all starts on Saturday, non Friday. H5N1 tinsy-bit less crowded in addition to we're a lot to a greater extent than rested. ;)

Last calendar week I was also making my Christmas list. How nigh you? Is your listing ready?

No?
Not a problem.

I'm thence glad you're hither today because I am teaming upward alongside a grouping of bloggers brought together past times Sarah - Thrifty Decor Chick, to part our favorite things, which way lots of proven skilful ideas to add together to your Christmas list!
If you're coming from Nest of Posies, welcome!

I couldn't position together a listing without a tool or a dyad of tools on it.  A few years agone I could've laughed at the mere get upward of a tool on my wishing list. But ever since I bought the Kreg Jig K4 Pocket Hole System and works life out how slowly it was to create slice of furniture alongside it, I got hooked.

It was the get-go tool I bought for myself.

Really!

My rattling get-go project when I began renovating the kitchen was done using the Kreg Jig, since then, the projects receive got grown in addition to gotten to a greater extent than complex similar the in conclusion 1 inwards my son's room.
I dearest this tool thence much, that's why is at the locomote past times of my list. :)



Lately, the Rockwell BladeRunner X2 has been some other of my favorite tools, it's the 1 that's ever plugged in addition to create to go. This is a small, portable tabletop saw that's rattling slowly in addition to condom to use. It's neat for modest projects, I receive got used it a lot to cutting shapes out of wood, similar inwards the projection HERE in addition to HERE.
It uses blades similar the ones inwards a jig saw, in addition to it works pretty much similar a jig saw alongside the exercise goodness of having both hands to guide the woods through the blade, no bespeak for clamps.
It's non a precise saw, it's a neat tool for a hobbyist.
I also dearest that too woods you lot tin role it to cutting metal, tile, aluminum in addition to plastic.



Well, you lot know I larn myself into many footling wooden projects in addition to I've works life out that the easiest way to stain them is past times using Thompson's Traditional Brown Waterseal Exterior woods Spray Stain I dearest this color in addition to most of all, how slowly it is to apply the stain!
In my in conclusion project, the wooden planters for my front end porch, I sprayed 1 coat of stain, then, using a rag, I wiped it off. It's non necessary to wipe off the excess, but I wanted to receive got a calorie-free color.
It's supposed to live for outdoor projects, but I dearest it thence much I've been using it for indoor projects too, similar the 1 HERE and HERE.


This adjacent special was on my wishing listing for a rattling long fourth dimension in addition to this yr I finally got it.
Have you lot seen a footling improvement inwards my pictures?
I'm pretty certain it's because I'm directly using the Cannon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens.
It makes a huge difference.



Fleece Leggings - During in conclusion year's Christmas shopping I works life fleece leggings at Boscov's in addition to decided to give them a try, yeah, it was my get-go fourth dimension trying leggings lined alongside fleece. I alone bought a pair, huge mistake!


I kept on wearing them for most of the winter. I went dorsum to purchase some to a greater extent than but couldn't discovery them whatsoever longer.
Next weekend I'm going to stock upward on them.
You tin wearing clothing them up, equally inwards the to a higher house picture, or downward equally I did most of the time. :)



In my opinion, goose egg beats having all of your dates/schedules on paper.
In the past times I alone used my jail cellular telephone for this, in addition to thence 1 hateful solar daytime my telephone died in addition to I was left alongside NOTHING!  -Insert sad/whatI'mgoingtodo emoticon here-
I began using this, the Mom's eighteen calendar month planner and I'm loving it! I deport it wherever I larn in addition to it's been easier than using the phone.


My immature adult woman was the 1 who introduced me to this adjacent item, the Lush - WHOOSH Shower Jelly. She's ever had a affair for textures in addition to this jelly is thence whoosh-y in addition to slippery, she has a ball each fourth dimension she uses it.

However, the affair that got me was the scent, it smells AMAZING!
It has a blend of lemon, lime in addition to grapefruit juices, addition revitalizing rosemary in addition to balancing geranium that drives me crazy inwards a skilful way.

If you lot dearest a citrus olfactory belongings this production is precisely for you!

Continuing within the smelly smells, similar a calendar month agone I tried Fragrant Jewel Candles and I was completely sold alongside their Pumpkin Patch in addition to Autumn Spice fragrances, thy're lovely. Every fourth dimension I give the sack these candles the household smells similar I am baking a pie. I'm yet using them, they're mid way.
But that's non all, each candle has a surprise within the creamy kokosnoot wax blend: a jewel/ring!

I recollect they brand for a actually overnice gift. When ordering you lot larn to direct the band size. You tin normally discovery the band after iii or iv hours of burning the candle.

They receive got a neat wintertime pick too.
Last but non least, my favorite mass I've read this year, The Mystery of Lucy in addition to the Dark Woods past times writer in addition to blogging friend Diana Kosmoski. H5N1 mass SO skilful that I literally could non position downward until I finished it. Full of twists in addition to turns that keeps you lot wondering in addition to wanting more! You tin read a curt recap of what the floor is about right HERE.
It is also available through Amazon equally a Kindle mass right HERE.


Here is my total listing you lot tin pivot to salvage for later.
