The tree isn't unpacked ... The house isn't decorated ... I have 0 gifts made.Talk about Stress!
Last year, once the gifts were distributed and the mess was cleaned up, my daughters and I were talking and I came up with the brilliant idea that Christmas 2014 needed to be different. So we agreed with the novel idea that all gifts to an adult must be hand-home made. Hey we had 12 months! So I made the call to the family and convinced everyone that this would be fun and badgered until everyone agreed.So last January I set the sewing machine and the embroidery machine out on the dining room table ...
And that is where they have sat ... and sat!
You know the first 10 months it was easy to ignore them ... but lately I have been avoiding that room which is pretty hard to do.
You know every single time I look at the dining table and see those 2 machines ... I find myself in the pantry looking for something sweet ... Luckily the only thing sweet in there is a very old jar of maraschino cherries that I just have not thrown away ... I hate maraschino cherries ... BUT I keep picking up that jar. If I can just make it past the next 25 days with out opening that jar ...
Lol put that jar down, step away slowly and sit your butt down in front of the machines!! Them gifts ain't going to make themselves :p I'm glad im not crafty or talented so that idea while nice would never be attempted by me or my Fam!
ReplyDeleteLOL ... I had to badger everyone to agree ... it really won't go over well if I'm the one that breaks down and buys a gift ... I get off work early today ... so I have a date with a sewing machine
DeleteTHROW THE JAR'S CONTENTS DOWN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL, THEN THROW OUT THE JAR.
ReplyDeleteYou'll thank me afterwards. :)
Gwen if I actually open that jar ... I guarantee I won't be eating one... I think that jar is 30 years old.
