What I did buy:

I found a gallon ziplock bag with some random Christmas cards and gift tags for $1. I thought it would be a good purchase of items to throw in my gift bin. When I got home, I picked through it to decide what to keep and what to toss. First I found someone’s stack of Christmas letters and photo cards with a bunch of return address labels from 2023. Then I found two sealed envelopes that felt like they had gift cards in them. I opened them up, and they were $10 Amazon gift cards. 

Last week I was hoping for a “win,” and I got a 1,000 piece puzzle with no missing pieces. This week, my “win” came in the form of $20 to spend on Amazon. If this pattern continues, I will be a very happy gal. 

(Manifesting bigger and better “wins” from henceforth).
