There is nothing worse (today anyway) than ME in a craft store at Christmas time.
We have a tradition of making homemade gifts for our family, so each year I put it off until the short weeks before Christmas when sheer panic takes over and I start to wander through craft stores, waiting to be inspired. Today was no different. I thought I had a wonderful idea. So there I was in Joann Fabrics. My mission was to get a few things for very good prices, pay and leave. I filled my basket with my carefully chosen items. Then I saw something else and put all the things I had chosen back where I got them.
While I was trying to decide on the new idea, it started looking daunting, and by the way, so did my original idea. So I put back the second inspiration. Then I decided to go with the first idea again. Couldn't be that hard after all. Then I looked at the time. It was already time to pick up daughter number 3 at school! So back went the items AGAIN. BAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
And y'know what!!? I'm so relieved that I didn't buy anything. Three useless hours in a craft store. I'm just such a ninny sometimes.
Now, cheer up, there is nothing like the Cavalcade of Bad Nativities this time of year. Hilarious holiday entertainment. Click, scroll and read the captions. The best are on page three.
Oh, and make sure you are not sipping your hot chocolate while reading. It really hurts when it comes out your nose.

oh I so understand! It is actually a very good thing there are no craft-wearhouse type stores in our town!
And those nativities cracked me right up!
I have TOTALLY been you in that craft store for three hours. ugh. I always think, "if I had spent this time just making the crafts that I have at home, I'd be nearly done by now"
KQ, face it, we are ONE. heehee
Tara, they must play some hypnotic type of music in those places that puts you in a walking and staring trance. ;)
