Today, I am not going into work.
Instead, I'm finishing up my Christmas shopping!! 

And as you can tell from yesterdays post, I love shopping for others.
It brings me so much joy to give to others.

I'll be using the Wishlist Factory to make sure I get things people want :-)
You should check it out!

Another treasure I'm appreciating, are the chances I have to serve. 
Especially during the holiday season.

I had the wonderful opportunity of being able to serve food to homeless people a few weeks ago while my husband and his sisters sang Christmas songs to help bring them some holiday cheer. 

It was a wonderful experience.

We'll be going again on the 23rd, and I am looking forward to that very much.

What's a treasure in your life?

The linky will be open until Saturday night!

Christmas Shopping is a Treasure

 I love Christmas!
So.Much.

Getting gifts isn't my love language, but I really enjoy giving gifts to others to help them feel loved! And Christmas is the perfect time to do that :-)

Every year I look forward to Christmas for many reasons (it's a magical time of year) I especially look forward to being able to watch my loved ones open the gifts that I picked out for them. I love seeing the excitement, and joy! If I could I would give people gifts everyday so I could see that.

Well, maybe not everyday...

My husband isn't a huge fan of shopping, so it's a good thing I've learned to drive a stick, so that this year I don't need to torture him by making him take me everywhere ;-)
 
 One thing that has made Christmas shopping so nice and less stressful is this website my awesome brother in law made. It's called Wishlist Factory. It's an advanced wishlist system that allows families, friends, and other groups of people to create private wishlists for any event or holiday! Sweet huh?
 
It's completely free, and very user-friendly. You should totally check it out!
It has made shopping so.much.easier. 

If you're going to spend money, it helps to know what people want :-P

So, I'm motivated to finish my shopping!
My goal is to get it all done by tomorrow, and have everything wrapped by this weekend!

How's your shopping coming?

 I apologize that I don't have pictures to go with my treasure yet, but I'll post some later tonight. So you might want to check back later ;-)

My treasure today is Christmas decorations.
I LOVE when my house is all decorated for Christmas. It makes me so happy!

I love the feel of said decor, the colors, the snow-men, the nutcrackers, angels and nativities.
We just barely finished decorating our tree, and I love it!
I wanted to do more uniform ornaments this year, and I think it looks pretty good for my first time ;-)

I got this wreath for $4 at Wal-Mart and I decorated that with all my childhood ornaments, that way they could still be enjoyed.

I love this time of year so much!

Have you finished decorating yet? 
The linky will be open until Saturday night!

 Once again I'm late in posting this. I'm sorry guys!
The holidays are such treasures, but they sure take up a lot of time :-)

My husband is always one of my treasures.
and today I'm really grateful for his patience, love and understanding. 
He's the best!

The only car we have is a stick, and I never learned to drive a stick growing up. So, Christmas shopping can be a bit tricky, especially since my husband isn't exactly a fan of shopping.

So, my awesome husband has been teaching me to drive a stick! 
And while I am trying to be a good student, and I'm catching on pretty quickly, I think it still requires a lot of patience on his part. Especially when I complain worry that it's harder than an automatic and I'll never get the hang of it. 
 
He's been a great teacher though, and he's been helping me to feel very comfortable with it.
and the amazing thing is- I'm really starting to get it, and I'm finding it fun!

What's your treasure?
