chilly-crisp creatures

(items thrifted for myself today) 

(these items came in my mailbox today! a pair of frames from firmoo, which i won a gift card to from a giveaway, and a hello kitty phone cover.) 

(finishing up some final touches on my christmas cards. sending them out tomorrow when i pick up the pictures i am including in them!) 

   even after just two days of not having a normal class schedule  i keep messing up which day it is. all of these changes are confusing me! i am becoming an avid planner; this i can tell due to my lack of daily scheduling like before. although i love breaks from school, it always seems old to me not having a full daily schedule written down in my planner. 

   after completing two of my six finals today, i took a relaxing break from all of the studying and essays that come at the end of the semester. i went thrift store shopping at a salvation army near my loft, and found a few items for my boyfriend's socking and a few other people on my list. i honestly do not see the problem with shopping second-hand for christmas. this just means you can get more for you money, and fix up the items for the gift giving! readers, what are your opinions on this?
