Easter Reflections
While out shopping the week
Before Easter got me to stop
And Reflect how fast&furious
People get when shopping for
Clothes food &gifts at Christmas Easter 4th of July
Memorial day&labor dayand
Thanksgiving. EASTER shopping (Spring) Memorial.Day (Summer).LaborDay(Fall) October (Halloween) Winter
THANKSGIVING&CHRISTMAS (LATE WINTER SALES EVENT YEAR END sales.]
THE sales the hustle&bustle
To get every thing bought
While good sales available.
When have you heard some one declare that christmas of
2018 will be finished by July of2018. YET WE put off and
Have to rush to get everything
Complete by Thanksgiving

My GG up in TN can cover a very large thrift store in about 45 min. And she inspects every woman's rack, some linen and nick-knack, and few men's racks in that time.
Then spends about 20 min in the fitting room.
They have a 5 item limit so we have a fitting room system. She takes in the first 5 items, I prep 5 more. then we swap out. 'buys' are handed out without the hanger and 'pass-ups' are put back on hangers. I place the 'pass-ups' on the return to rack bars.
I rarely have more than 5 items, but when I do, we switch places when she is done.

I had some of Christmas bought in June or July and then had to rush to get some last minute things in December! Leslie, sounds like a great plan! Hugs Lana Mae

Just shows how we have lost the meanings behind these "holidays" and commercialized them.

[Leslie Mary S]

Just the old military apporach. We worked out the system over 8 years ago. My GG is also one of my photo models. We we are together she helps with the shoots and make-up on me and/or what ever model we are shooting, regardless of their gender preference.

Yes Allisa, the holidays have become so commercialized.
I now normally do my own arts and crafts for presents. Sometimes it is a photo scrap book a or a calendar for the new year using photos taken of the recipant.
