A Little Christmas Shopping (for me)

Went to two craft shows today.  The number of vendors at both were small but did manage to find a few things for inspiration to either duplicate or presents for myself.

Christmas Shopping...
At the first show, bought some stamped cards that had interesting design to them that I plan to use on cards for me to make some Christmas stocking stuffer that I will duplicate (small Hershey candy wrapped in decorative scrapbook paper, gingerbread person made out of a round circle covering a peppermint patty, snowman soup etc).

Christmas Shopping (for me)...
The second show didn't have as many vendors as past years that I've gone to it, but there was a couple who had yarn (Forest Academy Alpacas)  Bought a lovely skein of black and white that was plied together and then a skein plied together in the same fashion but the colors this time are black/white/mauve.  Also purchased from them was 4.2 oz of natural black cria fleece.

Have a slight dilemma now, do I keep the fleece for myself (have a drop spindle and have been thinking about learning how to use) or gift it to one of the spinners I know?  What do you think I should do???
