Dear Man at the North Pole {AKA Santa}

Dear Santa,

I believed in you until the 5^th grade! I even saw your brown sled being pulled down the highway by a rickety old truck and told everyone at school that I saw Santa’s Sleigh! I defended you to EVERYONE even when my brothers tried to tell me you weren’t real. Whenever I watch Christmas movies, I still believe that you are real and everything I'm watching is Real Life!! I really miss the magic of believing in you, can you please make that magic reappear this Christmas?

If you would like to drop by my house and do all of my laundry on Christmas Eve instead of giving me gifts, that would be awesome! Wait I would still want gifts, do both!

My thighs are starting to touch more and more and the holidays really aren’t helping.  Can you use some of your magic dust to make them smaller, I’m really too lazy to start working out again!

I also would like to get free gas for the rest of my life.  That would really give me some extra dough to spend on bargains!!

Can you magically complete all Pinterest projects on my board and let me know how they turned out?  I really don’t want to waste any more time on #Pinterestfails…

I would like for Monday – Friday from the times of 8 am – 5 pm to fly by and the rest of the time go by as slowly as possible.  This 8 hour workday thing really isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be!

Please help my little kitty Ben stop climbing on my throat and licking my eyelids while I sleep.  This would be really helpful!

Can you bring me more blog followers?  K – thanks!

Also, I would like a Kate Spade purse, DSLR Camera and a MacBook Pro.  Do you think the elves will have enough time to complete all this before tonight??

Your True Believer!

DIY Christmas Labels

Hi my name is Alisa and I'm addicted to Christmas... Honestly, I think I'm obsessed with Christmas, is that even possible?  I have a bad feeling I'm going to go into a serious state of depression after it's over...

DIY Christmas Labels
I wrapped my first gift of christmas and I was pretty impressed with how it turned out.  I googled Christmas labels and came across these.  I downloaded them and opened the image in PicMonkey  to add initials.

Also printed out the wine label from the same site mentioned above.  I just used white sticker paper from Staples.  Great for a cheap present!

I checked out a Christmas store with my mom, I'm 99.9% sure I had a Christmas-gasm! This store is serious about Christmas Decorations, it's called Decorators Warehouse in case you care... That night we watched Four Christmases.  This is at the top of my Christmas Movie list - absolutely love this movie!

Linking up!

 

Christmas Cheer for all to hear!

I made this wreath last year after seeing several pins on pinterest, it's soo easy!  Use a wire hanger, form it into a circle and unwind the top of it.  String ornaments through and wrap the top of the hanger back together. Very simple and MUCH cheaper than the the wreaths at the store.

I love having all of my Christmas decorations out, it really gets you in the mood for the Holiday Season (even though it's 80 degrees outside)...

Diaries of a Bargainista Link-up starts tomorrow and I'm so excited!!! Grab a button below:
