After Christmas Giveaway… A Few of My Favorite Things
These are a few of my favorite things and I’d like to share them with all of you! A jar of Primas (who doesn’t like Primas!?), a Prima chipboard pencil holder (impatiently waiting for embellishment), a package of Christmas Nougats (my fav Christmas-time candy), and an Altoid candle tin (one of the most popular items from my November craft fair). I will draw one name on Friday night at 7pm PST. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and answer two questions:
1. What was your favorite Christmas gift that you received?
2. What was your favorite Christmas gift that you gave?
I’ll start first… I have a tie for favorite gift that I received. My husband got me an Ipod Nano and filled it with 150 of my favorite songs! Listening to my Ipod while I exercise has made my workouts so much more bearable. And I listen while I walk to and from work too and sometimes I’ll sneak in a song while I sit in my cubicle at work. *wink* The second gift I received from my husband is a photo studio in a box for taking pictures of my cards and other creations! Basically it’s a collapsible box made of nylon diffusing fabric to eliminate shadows and reflective glare. The box is 16″x16″x16″ when opened so it should be large enough to accommodate pictures of most of my projects and when I’m not using it, it folds into a small briefcase. It also comes with two Tungsten lamps for appropriate lighting as well as a tripod to eliminate camera shake and blur. I’m so lucky to have a husband who is so thoughtful and supportive of my business!
The most exciting gift that I gave was a surprise
for my husband, Jon. First, you have to understand that I am sooo bad at keeping gifts a surprise. I just have the overwhelming urge to blurt out the gift the second I buy it. LOL! But I had managed to keep this BIG surprise all the way up until Christmas Eve…. when my dad let the cat out of the bag! I got Jon tickets for the Rose Bowl football game on New Year’s Day. The Rose Bowl game came up during Christmas Eve dinner and my dad blurted out “Don’t you guys have tickets for that game?” I gave him a swift kick under the table and my mom poked him with the ham fork. LOL! I asked Jon after he had opened the tickets and he said he didn’t catch what my dad had said and had no idea about the gift. YAY… I managed to keep it a surprise! This is a pic of him as he opened his tickets (that’s my mom in the background).
