So, with that said, I think a GREAT gift for anyone with a hobby like that, is the Home Depot Gift Card.  And don’t forget the women either, there are so many things to buy at Home Depot that anyone would be thrilled with a gift like that!   So many of us are do-it-yourself ers and if you’re not, you should try!  It can be fun and rewarding.

They have some cool gift cards too I might add, in fact, I believe there are 17 to choose from so that you can find the perfect one that will suit the people on your gift list……check some of these out and scroll down:

Truett is getting his back teeth and has been VERY fussy all day.  Thank goodness it’s bedtime ’cause I was ready to pull my hair out.  Here’s the little turd in his pj’s.  Yeah, he’ll smile for the camera anyday but right after I took the picture he started crying again!

What to do now that the little fella is in bed?  I figure I’ll do a little surfing to see if I can find my husband a gift or something.  He always needs tools for his shop where he builds his spurs and bits ,so I thought I would check out one of those Ingersoll Rand air tools, more specifically, an angle grinder.  He needs one and the price is good.  I really don’t know what to get him this year.  I don’t know what to get anyone this year.  Hopefully I snap out of this funk and get in the Christmas mood fast.  Well, I’m off to do some more shopping.
