Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for December 18, 2009

Plus hers was more personal and required creativity. I’m totally not a craftsy type, but appreciate those who are. I love going through Etsy and seeing what people come up with.

lightenup, love name, love the avatar.

This is why I make cross-stitch for special occasions. People appreciate the personal touch, and it gives my hands something to do all those long hours on hold with insurance companies.

My lovely female accomplice is VERY craftsy, having made the pine cone wreath in my avatar, and many of our other seasonal decorations for not only Christmas, but every other holiday. Our house is always a festive place, for which I am very thankful.

Lovely pinecone wreath, lovely cat inside the pinecone wreath.

Seems people are always trying to one up everyone else. When I run into that type of person I back away since whatever you say they can do you one better.

Just go to Walmart, buy the latest gadget, throw it into one of those bags and you’re set to go. Put the return receipt in it and wella - perfect! hahah

Tacky, tackier, and a brainwashed, hoax-sucking, loser! How totally, gut wrenchingly, TACKY!!! There is no excuse for this behavior, even if it stems from deep seated mental illness!

Thanks, LibrarianInTraining! I’ve always enjoyed your posts, so it’s nice to hear from you. :-)
