SO, I’ve been busy most of this month with gifts and stuff. Apart from being super psyched for Bat to open his gifts (I got him a stocking with 5 Hotwheels and a ton of candy and chocolates, and a Pokemon card kit of the new ones) I’ve been making a lot of clay things lately, just trinkets and stuff, so I made a bunch I will be sending out to my family and friends in Ontario and Quebec. My aunt and my boss are getting angels, my friend with MS is getting a Jesus because that’s her life now..My buddy Rog calls people a “cool cat” when he likes someone, so I made him a kitty with sun glasses and a board that says “cool cat”.. my buddy mike is getting The Punisher skull.. My other aunt is getting a purple heart that says Love.. Grandmaman is getting a cross that says “Gagnon”, family name…Mom, Dad and my brother are getting a hand with the “I love you” sign, painted gold.. My friend Heather is getting half a “best friends” pendant, words written on either side, metallic blue,metallic purple..my landlord got a tiny black sculpture of her dog, Bubba..My uncle got a silver guitar.. and Bat’s grandmother is getting a small dish in the shape of her favourite flower.
Yeah, I’ve been busy. on top of that, instead of either buying or making cards, I wrote out small notes and wishes to each individual person or family, cut the papers long, crumpled them then flattened it out again, soaked them in black tea then let them dry. After that I took a lighter to the edges and burnt them to give them an old, used up look without actually ruining the letter itself. Then I folded them into scrolls and tied a bow around them with red ribbon.
Then, I stuffed them into small decorative boxes with the trinket wrapped in tissue paper and the scroll on top.
I really expected to be done by now. I hoped to have them sent out last week but there was just no way, it’s time consuming and my back hurts after sitting like that for a while.
I can’t wait to be done with this. Cause I’m not. And I’m tired but it’s Christmas so I sacrifice.
later,
