I am officially a home-made gift giver! It feels so great! Granted the gift was two and a half months late (considering that it took substantially longer to make than I was expecting). But I finally gave my very fluffy gift to my very precious Amy-friend last night (her birthday was in August)!!!
I am now walking in the elation of how lovely it feels to put time, effort, energy and care into creating something for a dear friend. Now, the only problem is that I have many dear friends ... and each dear friend will have, on average, approximately one birthday per year. Not to mention Christmas, weddings, stork parties, pamper parties ... gleep! If my track record of two months is anything to go by, this means that I can give exactly six gifts per year. This poses a problem. I am also over a month late on giving a home-made wedding gift that I have been working on since August (granted, the project was a tad over-ambitious).
So, I have decided to put forth a proposal. We all spend time and money donating to various causes: floods, earthquakes, orphans, trapped Chilean miners to name but a few. Would anyone be interested in just giving me lots and lots of money so that I can spend all day making home-made gifts for my friends? Such a person would really be quite a lovely person. I would make that person many gifts in order to show my gratitude.
Sigh, I can only but hope ...
