The one catalog I will look forward to within the next couple of days will be the Stitchery.  I aways buy myself a counted cross stitch kit to get me through the winter.  

 

I know I can view it on line, it's just fun going through the actual paper catalog to see what strikes my fancy.


@CelticCrafter

 

I think that's great.  It's something that you enjoy and look forward to, as well.

I know some people love to get lots of catalogs. But I like to shop on-line instead so I go to catalogchoice dot org and opt out of getting the catalogs mailed to me. It's easier for me that way.Woman Happy

That's good.  It's more convenient for you that way.  I get more fun out of looking at the catalogs.

Re: Hardly any catalogs for the holidays

Now they will start all over again.........the after Christmas SALE mailings.  Have already received 2 veggie and plant catalogs for Spring plantings.  (the early bird gets the worm you know)

Spring can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned!  Especially since Christmas is over!  Bring it on!!!

Re: Hardly any catalogs for the holidays

Starting in about October I started getting them.  Some days there were 4 or 5 in my mailbox.  I saved all of them just for the fun to see how many I would get for the Holiday shopping.  Most are from places that I have never ordered from.  They do sell their mailing lists to others.  Gads, you should see the stack.  Have only received one since Christmas.  Thank goodness.

 

They will be pitched a few at a time.  Take the mailing cover page and any other page that shows my name and address.  Shredder will be going on overload.
