Christmas Shopping has started!

I have two little Divas who are requesting dress up clothes from Santa so the post Halloween clearance aisle at Walmart was my mission yesterday. Why spend $30 on a Cinderella Dress Up gown when I can buy a $5 Cinderella costume that looks exactly the same!

I got 3 Costumes (Cinderella, Rapunzel, & Spider Girl) for $4.98 each.
2- glitter hair spray for $1.12 each (every princess needs a little pixie dust!)
2- Striped tights for $1.29 each (these are so cute for under their jean skirts)

And then I bought A Christmas Story 2 for myself :) I absolutely love the first (You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!) and couldn't resist.  It  was $14.96 so see I don't go cheap on everything haha.

I also ordered a few things online that have came in this week:

This cute Mickey & Minnie Ornament set that I got from the Disney Store when I preordered "Brave." It was $10 and has 2012 on them. Since we aren't going to make it to Disney this year these are going to serve as our yearly Disney ornaments.

I got this 20 page hard backed book from Shutterfly for Miss Kayleigh. She is going to flip out because she has a birthday card I had made for her with her picture and she has carried it around and kept it under her pillow since July. She calls it her "book" now she will have a real book.

I also recieved the Cindrella Blu-ray and Dora DVD that I ordered from Amazon using my gift cards from Swagbucks. I didn't get a chance to take a picture because little eyes were peeking at the mail that day.

Snapfish House Party

I recently got another House Party and this time its hosted by Snapfish. What is House Party? It is an awesome program that allows you to apply to host parties in your home to promote new products and services. There really is no way to guarantee a spot but, just keep trying. After you are chosen House Party will send you cool freebies and coupons to aid in your party. They also provide a website to send your invites and plan your party along with neat party favor ideas.

I am really excited about this party since I use Snapfish a lot. The party is going to be at my house Saturday November 17th and I would love if any of my local readers would come out. I know we are getting "Snapfish" cookie cutters but I'm not sure what kind of coupons yet. I am planning to combine the House Party with a Free Coupon Class so if anyone is interested just send me a email and I'll get you an invite sent from the party planning page :)
