- school teachers
- church teachers
- family & extended family too
- the co-worker gift exchange that your husband loves to sign up for every year (even though you tell him not to each year & he agrees ... only to casually mention afterwards that he did anyways, ha!)
- his employees
- his bosses (definitely can't leave them out!)
- the people in church that you've been assigned to home & visit teach (all 8 families)
Then the list is BIG (and still doesn't even include your kids or husband!), and now you're looking at your ever expanding belly & the three kids already here and starting to think maybe you are nuts. Is it just me that this happened to?
And then I noticed that Deseret Book was having a 75% off sale, with free shipping and for a little over $100 (with free shipping on that order mind you!), I decided handmade is nice ... but consumerism/the easy way out was better (this year). And since I *know* you'd all *LOVE* to see what $100 bought me, I'll show you the stack of delivered boxes .... (10 animal nativities, 10 fleece blankets, 8 "Our Home Believes" blocks, 8 Jesus is the Reason for the Season statues & 2 holy family statues - so cute, I wish I had known!-), Their customer service section sucked though & some of the items that came didn't match the picture on-line, and the best part was for some reason they didn't put in basic information (like how many were available) into their system, so a lot of my order wasn't filled. I love what I got, but after the headache to get it, I don't think I'll use them again. Maybe next year (2010) will be the handmade year ...
Girl... you are crazy...but that is why I love ya. Your header looks cute on your page. When did you change it? Looks awesome.

That's so sad about your order!! I would think they would have GREAT customer service!? Anyway I hope your 2010 Christmas is your handmade year :) I guess if you start now, you'll have lots of time! LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah the gal there acted like I was a criminal or something when I requested to add more to my order ... very grumpy. I just made the header last night ... I'm not sure I like it yet though ... and I'm crazy? LOL ...
