Giving Gifts That Don't Add to the Clutter
The winner of the bgreen gift card for a free t-shirt is Amy! Congratulations, Amy. Please email me by Friday, December 18 with your address and t-shirt size so I can forward your information to the company. I still haven’t heard from Freth with regards to the movies, so if he does not contact me by the time I post Wednesday morning with his address, I will be drawing a new winner for the movies. Better hurry and email me at fivecoat@ozarkmountains.com
We’re getting down to the wire for the Christmas season. My holidays are a lot more stress free than they used to be, but if you’re like me, you’re still trying to get all of your cards addressed and sent, never mind still trying to figure out a few gifts.
