Christmas Challenge Update

Time for the Christmas Challenge update! There are 7 more shopping weeks until Christmas.

First, I spent full price on a $2.99 Llama llama Red pajama doll. It is one of my nephews favorite book and that seemed like a great price even if it wasn’t on sale 🙂

JC Penny had a 90% off summer wear sale so I got a junior henley top for $2.20 (regular $22). It is super cute and will be a great gift!

I also bought plans for a homemade play kitchen that I am going to try to build for DS this Christmas. It is entirely made out of cardboard (but I think I am going to use corregated plastic so it holds up better and is easier to wipe off). I paid $8 for the plans. I’ll keep you posted as I buy the other needed items and I’ll take a picture when it is finished!
