long term project in the works, so not a very long entry tonight. glad to know some people have finally updated their blogs - some of you haven't and you know who you are! :) not that I"m complaining, as I just enjoy reading what folks are up to, but I understand the busy factor around this time of the semester (for those of us in school) and yes, the beginnings of the holiday rush on gifts and toys and new products that cause for many hours of distraction haha. For my part, I've always been more excited about giving gifts that getting them. that probably comes off sounding very holier than thou or something, or at least very "standard thing to say but don't really mean it" but for me it's quite true. I sort of pride myself in my ability to match a gift to a person's personal tastes or some aspect of their personality that the object might remind me of. Actually I've already got the gifts picked out for a few friends. To be totally factual one friend already has hers :) because, she's like me, as soon as you've got it, you've GOT to play with it, or at the very least take it out of the box and admire it. hehe. mostly though, I'm thinking I'll go the homemade gift route this year again, if I have the time over break, I will definately go that route, because, I LOVE to do that and it's more creative and fun and funky. not sure what i'll do this year..there are some good options. Most often my gifts that are semi-homemade count as pictures that I give to folks....but this year, I'm hoping to go a bit of a different route...not surethough, we'll see...but the ideas are brewing :)
and speaking of ideas...the idea now is that i should either get back to work or go to sleep, neither of which is likely to happen in the near future...
