Christmas Presents!

If you want a hand made Christmas present I need to know NOW.  (Read: painting, hat, scarf, or blanket.)  I generally try to think of stuff all on my own, but it has been a stress filled year, and my brain hurts, so I am taking requests.  But if you don’t have your request in by the 10th of November, you get what you get.  Sorry, I am not killing myself this year to get gifts done.

That said, I am pleased to say that I already have all of my niece, and two nephews presents purchased, half of my sister’s presents, and the Raccoon Goddess’s gift (Technogypsy’s wonderful wife).  I also have odds and ends for three other gifts, AND what I am going to get for one other all picked out and lined up.  It is just a matter of getting it done.  So, here it is almost the end of October, and I am moving right along.

Now all I have to do is B and Spacie’s two paintings before the Friday after Thanksgiving, and I will have nothing but Christmas to focus on.

And now that the update on that is done, I have a question.  Why is it that, whenever you ask someone what they want for Christmas they say, “Oh, I don’t know” ?  Or “I’ll have to think about that”?  Don’t they know how ANNOYING this is?  (And yes, I am SO guilty of this, too.)  So everyone should have a standard answer ready.  My standard answers are art supplies, gift certificates to book stores, and socks (I love getting just plain ol’ package of white socks.  I have boney feet, and am ROUGH on socks, so I need new ones all the time.  And.  I lose them.  I maintain that the dryer eats them and that is why it still works so good, NOT that it is still pretty new, and that I don’t lose them, but, really, I do).  Standard answers people.  They are good things.
