We also give spring/summer clothes (purchased at end of season sales or resale shops) as part of our gift to the kids. Also, track your purchases and those of others, if they share. If I know that one grandmother has bought one thing, I let others know so that we don't have to mess with returns, disappointment, etc. For the last few years, we’ve limited our gift-giving, and no one seems to mind.

Last year I ordered my photo greeting cards in October during a great sale from Shutterfly.com. I got free shipping and saved a bundle. This may mean you have to resort to sending a photo taken this summer, but who doesn't love a little sun in December? My cards were addressed and ready to go before Thanksgiving...I just waited to send them out. If you want to send out Christmas cards order them early.

I am hosting a Canning Week Blog Party the week of August 23-27 with lots of tips, recipes and how-to on canning. I think a lot of women are probably a little skeptical or have just never done it and hopefully once they see how easy it is they will want to give it a try. Hope you can stop by sometime that week as well!!! I can produce that I grow in our garden and we eat off of it all winter.
