We try every year to make a few things. Usually we go for hand-painted ornaments for the relations, as the little person has the giving spirit, but not a lot of skill and, most definitely -a short attention span.
We went to Michael's and JoAnn's for this year's haul. Wooden ornaments. Purple was the chosen color of the year.
We found a new paint to try; Crayola's Washable Kids' Paint. Sign hailed it as blendable and smooth. Easy to use. And of course, washable.
What we also discovered is that Michael's and JoAnn's both had everything holiday related not nailed down on sale. 40-50% off sale, to be exact. So we may have decided to try a few other things as well.
We were all kinds of excited, dorks that we are, and got carried away. As I retrieved the bags from the carousel, I belted out Thank you! Have a nice day! And wait for it...
Merry Christmas!
She laughed but sheesh...it's barely November.
Meh, it's not like I went home and put up the tree.
But I thought about it.
