Both my DH and I opened up one-that =$50 of gift certficates-soooo I get to pick out $100 worth of FREE scrapbooking stuff on Friday! Doesn't get any better than FREE! WAHOO-happy dancing!

DD has even been in lines where people save places so one can go and get something that everyone would like one more of I think our oldest (32) has convinced our youngest (21) to drag herself out of bed and go with her. Oldest one is type A high energy and a morning person, youngest is everything opposite, maybe I'll go with them just for the fun of watching them Oldest is into housewares and places like Kohls and Target and BestBuy, youngest is into clothes and jewelry and places like those that I can't even spell snicker I get a hoot out of watching my kids as adults
