I ultimately chose librarianship, as you know :) but elementary education was also on my list of possibilities.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-62647419728483259922015-12-09T17:54:48.729-05:002015-12-09T17:54:48.729-05:00Thanks, Tiffany!!

I'm going to have to look into those!<br /><br />The education professors here don't believe in exams, so I always have extra time on my hands that week. I go to preschool every week anyway and they always bring a smile to my face. Exam week just gives me more free time to go play with the kids, and not disturb my roommates who do have exams. :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139976694880320665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-86783017466658887952015-12-09T15:17:37.672-05:002015-12-09T15:17:37.672-05:00Steph!

So nice to see you. :) Ahead for next year, I like the way you think. :0 And it's good to mix it up from year to year with crafty things, I totally agree. Some years instead of making gifts myself, I'll buy them from others who hand make items that I cannot do myself: so embroidery, quilts, other sewing techniques, candles. I love it!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-35377573062656907902015-12-09T15:15:41.078-05:002015-12-09T15:15:41.078-05:00Hi Samantha!

The wood saints that Henry has are from an Etsy shop called St. Luke's Brush:<br /><br />https://www.etsy.com/shop/StLukesBrush<br /><br />...and the plastic ones that Anne has are Shining Light Saint Dolls:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Shining-Light-Dolls/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_9513908011?ie=UTF8&node=9513908011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Shining+Light+Dolls<br /><br />I love them too! I absolutely love that you are going to be doing crafts and gingerbread houses with the preschoolers as stress relief during exams. Brilliant! And so festive. :)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-88348013082188299082015-12-09T14:58:54.396-05:002015-12-09T14:58:54.396-05:00Tiff, you're not behind!

Instead I'm simplifying with doing gifts in a jar for my extended family. They don't need more hats or scarves and these will be yummy/useful/fun gifts to give instead. angelstephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976824999263820352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-24729052382444350352015-12-09T14:42:27.457-05:002015-12-09T14:42:27.457-05:001.

So, I am making one for a friend and buying for my goddaughter and sibling gift. Christmas preparation is coming in the form of getting all of the projects done for next week, and then spending time in preschool (my happy place) during exam week to help them finish up Christmas crafts and gingerbread houses to take home. :)<br />And then I get to go home.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139976694880320665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-22096996341328114342015-12-09T14:10:12.325-05:002015-12-09T14:10:12.325-05:00Hi Melanie!

Yes, just scarves sound good. :0 I don't know why it is, but it's just so easy to think our knitting needles are just going to SMOKE from how fast we knit. But if we don't knit that way the rest of the year, why would Christmas be any different? ;-)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-81718529335894728652015-12-09T13:29:17.555-05:002015-12-09T13:29:17.555-05:00I like those socks.

I didn't think I was too ambitious in my gift knitting plans this year. 2 hats and 2 scarves for cousins who recently moved to colder climates isn't too much even if I didn't decide until November, right. However, looking at the calendar I have 10 days left (since I want to send them back with a cousin when she visits) and I'm still on scarf #1. I think they'll be getting just scarves this year.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906826460232914998noreply@blogger.com
