Today is my last day at the Factory until next Jan. 8, 2009. OMG I need a break so bad. I have been contemplating cutting myself, just to feel a different kind of pain. Just kidding, but seriously the place has been on nuclear meltdown. The economy, blah blah blah, layoffs, blah blah blah. The news says my company is laying off 1,000 people. I better stop bitching and be thankful for my high stress, low satisfaction, work with circus freaks job.
So, this weekend I decided to get my Craft ON! I was working with red food dye. OK, so now I have fingers that look like I torched them. I love homemade gifts. I made homemade marshmellows dipped in pink icing and rolled in crushed peppermints. The homemade part was the crushing of candy canes and icing installment. I did not pull a Martha Stewart and make my own Marshmellows. Kraft has a lock on it. I also made jars of Cranberry Orange Honey. Very tasty and holiday-ish. This one is a tough one too. Mix a can of cranberry sauce, a jar of Orange Marmelade and Honey. Pop in microwave to get soft. Pour in jars. Wipe sweat from your brow. ha ha. I was injured, however. I stabbed myself with scissors cutting fabric for the bows.
Hope these little tips give you motivation to add a personal touch to your last minute gift list. I secretly dreamed of being Martha Stewart at one time.
xoxo,
Cole
