Anyone go out into the Black Friday madness? Or start/work on/finish your shopping online? What kind of deals did you find? Whatever holiday(s) you celebrate, share the incredible find! Celebrate that it is all done and wrapped! Or see if someone has seen that must-have item on your list!

I am unable to work and not yet approved for SSDI, so my resources are very limited. I am making the majority of the gifts I will be giving, so I did my shopping online for yarn, zippers, hairbands, etc. (There's a tween & teen niece on my list, and hair - OMG, SO IMPORTANT!!!!)

So while waiting on the supplies to arrive, I am crocheting a guitar strap for my BIL. And embroidering placemats for my mom's Christmas table.

What about you?

Still recovering from Thanksgiving..LOL!No black friday for me.But here is a little bit on info I though was interesting...........

This date is called Black Friday because this is when retailers are said to start making a profit for the year. Therefore, their bank books go from being in the red to black!

We had our dinner on Friday since that was the day we could all be together. I forgot to mention that between the placemats and the guitar strap, I am doing the Crohn's Olympics: run for the bathroom!

Thanks for the factoid about Black Friday. Goes to show you just never know what you will learn at mdjunction!

No Black friday shopping for me Cat. I did a little before Thanksgiving. I can't take the crowds anymore along with my hot flashes..

Each time I go to the mall I feel like stripping down when I get outside because they must have the heat on 100!!!! lols

I did but that was in canada so it wasn't bad at all..

Technically, I've never done the Black Friday thing, but we did have to venture out last night to get a full-spectrum lighting setup for the new rescued parrot we're adopting this weekend. Our find of the day: 48 AA Rayovac batteries for $10 (normally $29). Hubby and I both agreed that we never thought we'd ever be so excited to find an amazing deal on...batteries.
