There are only 85 days until Christmas!!!

We all know that I started my Christmas shopping at the beginning of the summer and now I am getting to the hard to shop for. I love my family but man some people are just so impossible to shop for.

Da Hubby - easy peasy lemon squeezy - he wants Detriot Lions, Star Wars, Legos, Futurama, and tools
The Princess - Hello Kitty, Sharks, Disney,crafty stuff
My Dancing Niece - Ballerina or Disney
Anyone under the age of 10 fun educational toys or crafts, Disney if it is a girl; football for boy
Brother in laws - Longhorn or Baylor
Real Brother - Guns, Zombies, or Jeep stuff

Aunts - NO FREAKIN CLUE!!!

I am doing pretty good this year with making presents but with my aunts I have no clue. I could etch some pyrex for when they make casseroles for the church or etch drink glasses, but that is all that I can think of.

I am at such a loss what do you get for people who like to party and wear blingy clothes? I am not one of those shiny people so I do not know what to get them.

But seriously here are some of the presents I have made so far:

I absolutely wanted to steal this so bad! I made 3 more bracelets like this.

I saw one like this on Wanelo, when I followed the link they had no more :( 

I am making a few more gifts but I am worried about posting them until Christmas or I could just not put they are gifts (you know if I wanted to be cleaver).

So I have been away for a bit but I have learned a few new things

1.  Schools in my area will not call you to tell you they picked someone else for the position

2. When you go to an interview it helps if you mention your work with autistic kids or they will not know

3. People do not really read resumes

4. Watching football live is way better than watching on tv

5. When making apple butter your house will smell amazing

6. It is nice to have an insurance adjuster live next door, they tell you insider secrets

8. I am better at poker than I thought

9. Paula Deen's jambalaya is quick and delicious to make

11. Splitting a bag of pistachios with Da' Hubby with make your tongue raw and lead to a lye bump

12. Jones Soda Halloween flavors are out and the red licorice is good, the caramel apple is like creme soda but sweeter and with a tartness to it

13. No good movies were on TV on  Friday the 13th

14. Making jewelry is pretty fun

15. Da' Hubby is not a fan of me stealing his tools to make jewelry
