Christmas gifts

My dear friends,

Somewhat embarrassing to admit, I'm not getting an annual bonus and Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts.

Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree that it's a splendid idea, and should you wish to do the same, I've included the instructions below.

How to make bedroom slippers:
You need four maxi pads to make a pair. Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part. The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top. Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part. Decorate the tops with whatever you desire: Christmas decorations, silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc.

These slippers are: * Soft and Hygienic *
Non-slip grip strips on the soles.
* Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh * No more bending over to mop up spills * Disposable and biodegradable * Environmentally safe * Three convenient sizes: (1.) Regular, (2.) Light and (3.) Get out the Sand Bags.

I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself.... Awaiting your response. It's crucial that I get the right size for each one of you.

Very creative! These handy slippers can solve a lot of problems, both financially for Christmas and for those embarassing "surprise" moments that can happen to women. You're a genius! By the way, I miss Danica sooooo much!

Hello,

Chani wants to know if Taralee still has a John Deere kitchen?

Tamra and Jim said...

Hi Crystal. No, Taralee just changed out her kitchen and took all her John Deere stuff down. I guess she was tired of it.

I just looked at Karalyn's blog. Aunt Konnie looks really good. She looks like she's lost quite a bit of weight. Hope she isn't mad at you guys for missing the wedding and coming to hang out with me and the Porters. :)
