  1. I'm calling DFACS on you!!!! :p

    :lol: :rofl:

     

    I worked at B&N the last two Christmas seasons and Elf on the Shelf was a BIG hit. I absolutely could NOT wait for HR to be old enough (this year) to comprehend the whole idea and get her the book/elf. Now she's old enough....and I don't have the extra money to get it this year. :rolleyes: :(

     

    I definitely miss that B&N discount, that's for sure. :blush:

  2. Yup - there will be very, VERY few store bought gifts this year. My step-mom hates that I make 'stuff' for people rather than buying something 'useful or something they want'. This conversation took place a couple of days ago-

     

    Her: What are you getting your sister?

    Me: Hand-made crochet scarf and either handmade soap or earrings

    Her: Oooooooook? :blink: Your brother?

    Me: Beer soap and a Tennesee scarf...handmade

    Her: Your SIL?

    Me: Soap and a scarf

    Her: :glare: ...... :glare:

    Me: The only two left are you and dad...might as well not even ask.

     

     

    :ph34r: :rofl:

     

    My siblings will absolutely adore their gifts, as will my dad. She's the only one I'll have a problem with. All of my cousins are getting scarves, bows, tutus or purses. I have a couple of boy cousins I'm clueless on at the moment. The ONLY store-bought gifts I have on my gigantic list are for Dxh's little sister, little brother, and mom.

  3. 20 mins???? :huh: I spend HOURS on a scarf. :wacko:

     

    I can finish a scarf in about an hour and a half, if I'm not doing anything else. :ph34r: The 'one-hour scarf' really does only take an hour, or less, depending on what is distracting me (like House MD :blush: )

  4. LGM it is easy .I don't think you will have a problem. I used to do it myself to my own hair by looking at my hair in a mirror to see the back. Nothing to it.

    If you can't catch the hang of it. I have a way of using strands of leather and small beads that is so sesy. You just put it on the hair and pull the hair through and raise a bead up each time. Then you are finished. Easy as pie and pretty to.

    Oh no...no beads please! She hasn't figured out that those exist yet. :ph34r:

     

    Hey Cheffy, I have actually braided Black girls' hair for them! I love coming up with creative hair styles! :ph34r:

    ^_^

    That's actually how HR wound up with braided hair all the time. Her teachers and the little girls in her class are all black - she wanted her hair to be all pretty like theirs rather than just in a ponytail or bun everyday. :D

  5. It's pretty easy if you know how to do regular braids.

     

     

    All you have to do is pick up a little hair each time you cross a piece over.

     

    :nea:

    I keep getting told that, but I can't make it work.

     

    I'm a visual learner though. If somebody stands infront of me and does it once, I'm good for life. :pardon:

  6. Hey why didnt you ask me?????? If Im not busy at the shop one day I can teach you and who ever wants to learn. Just let me know :rolleyes:

     

    I have no idea why I didn't ask you, actually...that's a genius idea! :D I also didn't find out until today that her teacher won't be there anymore - her teacher told me a few weeks ago that she would teach me.

     

    So there - You're going to teach me. :p .

     

    p.s. I have my bangs pulled back. :lol: :blush:

  7. Okay...HR's teacher has been braiding her hair regularly for quite some time now. It's adorable. She loves it and wants it done regularly, but I can't french braid or do the crazy little braided hair-do's that her teacher can do.

     

    Found out this morning that the teacher doesn't work there anymore - that would most definitely explain why her hair hasn't been braided in a couple of weeks, and why she keeps asking me to do it.

     

    I don't know how. :unsure: Somebody teach me. :blush: :lol:

  8. Hey all! I have a bunch of holiday mini-clips ready to go, as well as many bows. I'll post the bows later this evening, but here are the mini-clips. They are 2 for $3 or $1.50 each. The bows are $3 each or 2 for $5, and have all sorts of holiday prints like candy canes, peppermints, jingle bells, Christmas trees, and I may even have a couple of gingerbread left!

  9. I really think her and sarah are sooo much alike! THat was the whole reason I went looking for a pattern bc sar wouldnt wear regular gloves. I figure some warmth is better then none. She wore her camo ones this morning and I kept seeing her boxing air....hope I havent gotten us in trouble! LOL
