a whole lot of freakin crap.

i don't know why i do this to myselfeverchristmas.

i mock the people that do christmas in july. CHRISTMAS in july. who is thinking about christmas in the nice warm day of summer! I SHOULD BE!

now i'm STRESSED!!!!!

I think homemade gifts are the best. and by the time i get these stupid presents done i hope the intended receiver rots.

okay...maybe not rot...but they had better spend about 25 minutes ooohhing and aahing over all these dumb homemade gifts.


what i'm trying to get at is... i hate christmas. just kidding. i love love love it. I just wanted to show you all the stuff i've been doing and the reason i have been an el sucko blogger.

but FIRST! a winner of my button and badges giveaway!!!!

thanks so much to button and badges!

i've made a few more scripture covers from this review

at our church's christmas party we were having a christmas around the world. we had pinatas and were asked to bring desserts from all over.

yeah. brownies aren't too exotic. and that's about all i do...

so i bought boxes of fortune cookies.

then i ended up staying late shopping with the sisters and never made it to the party...

and was left with tons of fortune cookies....

so i popped on picnik and made a little tag...

and wrapped them all cute and stuck on a pictures and a tag...i did for a moment thinking about dipping the fortuen cookies in choc. but that moment passed quickly thank goodness...

i also wrote out my christmas letter. i used awesome in almost every sentence. i'm pretty awesomely proud. you can go HERE to read it...

i'm also here at the diyclub today showing off a new-to-me product frosted glass by krylon

and now i'm off to wrap....
