Did some shopping after playschool today at Smith's Variety in downtown Mt. Brook. I love that store! They carry Vera Bradley, scrapbooking supplies, greeting cards, wrapping paper and everything else in between. They carry toys, Madame Alexander dolls, luxurious soaps, beautiful and fun dishtowels, aprons, etc. I always describe it as an upscale Woolworth's or Ben Franklin's. I've gotten smart in my old age and have totally learned to take advantage of stores when they offer free gift wrap! If I've done my calculations correctly, I should have to wrap less than half of my gifts this year. Several items are gift cards and several other items I've had wrapped right at the store. Go me!!!

Just have to work on my cards now. And the tree. The Christmas tree isn't up yet.
