Okay, it wasn't a Christmas prezzie, since I am not doing the exchange, but I figured there would be other squee here, so I could squee. Sox gave me one of her super beautiful crazy awesome knitting needle roll up holders! It is so great! It is beautifully done and the fabric is gorgeous and I am so happy to have it and my needles are too! Will update with pics. [link] and [link]
It actually came before my trip, but I didn't have time to grab it from the post office, so I only just now got it and I am so thrilled with it! Whoo!
Thank you, Sox!
Toddson, thank you SO MUCH for the vampire paper doll book! I think it's all sorts of fun.
hee! I saw that and thought you'd enjoy it!
Oh hello, thread!
So, my superfab Secret Santa got me this: [link] And it's perfect and I love it and I've worn it ever since!!!
I think I have secret santa angst. On the buying side.
Dana, me too! I've already bent msbelle's ear on this front.
Hah! Me too.
Does anyone here do wishlists? I like the idea, but I wish there was some way to distinguish between "this thing exactly" and "something like this". It's challenging me on both the giving and receiving side this year.
Last year and this year I did a "nifty things" essay, explaining what and why, and also what definitely not and why. It also seems like a nice opportunity for "let me tell you about me" for family (and friends) I rarely see.
I use Amazon, but I also do a modified form of the Buffista list for my family and ask them to fill it out for me. Works pretty well.
