Hellobee Boards

I've ordered a few things! That puzzle is really cool!

Umm...this is going to sound insane...but we already have a ton of Christmas and Birthday gifts purchased for our daughter up until age 5. I know, that sounds crazy--but my husband is a HUGE thrift-saler/garage-saler and he has found some incredible deals (like an American Girl Doll with a wardrobe, bed and a whole bunch of clothes for $35!! When the outfits themselves go for $35 normally!) So we have everything in our closet, and I have what we have saved in a spreadsheet ready to give to her. Of course, if she ends up not liking the stuff we got--a total possibility--that's fine, and we'll give it to someone else or sell it/give it back to Goodwill. It was all just amazing deals my husband didn't want to pass up--and a lot of it is stuff he's refurbishing, like a wooden sled and a dollhouse.

Um, I bought LO a present for this Christmas on clearance after last Christmas. So, yes, I have. It will probably be her only present from us other then a bunch of stocking stuffers.

@Mrs. Pen: My mom made doll clothes for my American Girl doll too, and my dad built furniture. We had hardly anything from the actual company other than the one doll each (one for my sister, one for me) and lots of books, and anything we bought ourselves. But alas, my parents did not pass either of their handy skills down to me! I can't sew or build worth a darn.

Not yet, Lo's birthday is in September so I've purchased her birthday gifts and I've written a list of what I'm getting lo for christmas. Still trying to think of what I'm going to get dh!
