Every time I do any kind of project involving art indicates to me I need to buy something for the next time. In this case I have a red and green fine-point sharpie, plus a black ink pen, but I think I need a full set of colors in fine point. I used my watercolor pencils for the tree ornaments and they don't look as good as if I had used sharpies. I will buy some "real" name tags next time I'm in a store.
I found a Priority Mail box and the gifts fit perfectly when cushioned with a little bit of bubble wrap. The box is sealed, addressed, and ready to go.
I could have easily (well, not that easily) walked two miles today but had a problem with the machine. There is a dinky safety button that is supposedly held by magnet in a certain spot. The button has a long cord - I guess if you had a problem you could just yank the cord and the machine would stop, but I had no problem and for some reason it stopped abruptly. That reset the machine so I had to start all over again and add the numbers, as well as keep those numbers in my mind as I don't bring anything to write with. I gave up at 1.51 miles and will try for 2 tomorrow. I was really on a roll and who knows where I would have stopped!
Can't think of anything else except things to gripe about, and I'm in too good a mood to want to gripe! I'll wish everyone a good week ahead, and say goodnight!

Your way ahead of me on the gifts I still have bought zero gifts. Hope I can get a move on this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to get something done, and hate putting everything off until the last week.
DeleteThat cord on the treadmill is supposed to have a clip on the end to connect to your clothing. It's a safety measure. If you happen to fall the magnet will be pulled loose and the belt stops.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a clue about it - no wonder the magnet doesn't hold it all that tight. Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteI love your handmade tags and would never buy new ones if I could make those. The tree us actually my favorite. I've had my gifts for weeks. They go in the mail today. I hate the crowds so I shop before black and blue Friday.
ReplyDeleteWell I went back and looked closer and that wreath is amazing. The bow is so real. Boy do I wish I could do that.

Delete"I love your handmade tags and would never buy new ones if I could make those." My sentiment exactly
DeleteWell thank you! I tried several subjects and the candy cane was impossible, so I did the tree instead. It's a pathetic tree and I should have done it over.
DeleteThe wreath was actually pretty easy to have turned out so well. I found a youtube site that was created to teach kids how to make their own gift tags. I figured that's the category I should start in, although a lot of kids are way more talented than I am!

ReplyDeleteYour tags are really great.. Nice job and I'm sure they will be more liked than the usual ones available at the store. You have a talent.....
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. It was fun drawing them but not so much coloring them.
Delete"buy some "real" name tags next time... "
ReplyDeleteI think the handmade ones are so perfect, every one of them; save the money for they are immediately trashed anyway. Right?
I'm sure the kids will trash these all the same as if they were "store bought". It was fun doing them though.
