  1. What a fantastic hop and wonderful inspiration along the way. To answer your question, I'm neither.......lol I do some early, shop the internet instead of fighting the crowds, always save a few gifts for the first good snowfall and one last gift to get on Christmas Eve. Love to Christmas shop once in the snow.

    Thank you for the chance to win this wonderful candy. "Hugs" Carol

  3. Had a blast with the hop. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful creations ladies.
    With the shopping, I'm a little of both. I usually shop online for the things I can't get locally and have to have shipped, I usually start in Nov. I then finish up in the stores at the last minute. As of now, I still have a few things to get for the kids yet....

    Thanks for the chance to win some great candy... I love ribbon, any color, size, etc... Most all my cards have some kind of ribbon on them....

  6. Can't wait to hop! I just made it here to the beginning from another blog I follow. I'm now a follower of yours!

    I love to be done way ahead of time, but this year I am soooooo far behind. In fact, it's probably safe to say that I've hardly started. Was going to go out today, but we have a snow day and the kids are now home from school!

  19. Fab blog hop, I usually like to start my christmas shopping in the october school break and do it gradually up till christmas, but this year I had surgery at the begining of october and can only this last week start to drive again so am now trying hard to get all my shopping sorted and organised, not easy as I still can't do any heavy lifting till mid january so am having to rely on my hubby.

  31. I shop ALL year! I find it helps me enjoy the season more because I am not stressed about finding last minute gifts. I also save a bundle by taking advantage of deals not usually seen during the height of the Christmas shopping season.

  36. First I have to say that you certainly know how to choose such a fantastic design team...did I say AWESOME?!!! I am amazed by all the creativity...I just wish some of it would come my way! Okay for your question...I am totally a last minute shopper...there is always that fear that I want will find something else as I'm searching for the perfect gift! p.s. Love that ribbon assortment and it is so chocolatey! yummy! *smile*

    ReplyDelete
  37. Great hop. I shop all year long. I've learned to buy that perfect something when I see it because it might not be there when I go back.

  38. I haven't had a chance to play with my "hot cocoa" collection of ribbons yet but after seeing all of these gorgeous projects I am itching to get at it!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ooops... I forgot to say that I have always been a last minute shopper but this year, and I'm not sure why, I started my shopping in October and was just about finished by the beginning of December! And it is really nice not to have to have that last minute pressure.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Another fabulous hop! Phew, took me a few hours amidst insulating our windows and driving kids to & from functions, but I made it! Christmas Shopping........hhmmmmm..........i like to shop all year round and put the stuff somewhere until Christmas comes around. The problem with that is I ALWAYS forget where I put stuff! So I tend to leave most of my shopping until mid-late November! Thanks for the chance!

  55. Blog hop is really inspiring as one get to see the work of a lot of crafters along the way. See how different items are created even if some of the materials used are the same.
    Holiday Shopping: I always start holiday shopping when the holiday mood is in the air which is quite early but usually finished it at the last possible minutes as there are so much choices to choose from. However, for certain items, I'll still get it even if the holiday season is over especially those items too good to be missed.
