Got everything wrapped - behind the spoiler is the wrapped pic, and also a quick pic of the makeup brush holder.   I learned some things making it on how to do them better next time, but I hope my SS likes it anyway. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I had to swap out boxes, this will go into the mail tomorrow morning to be rushed to my SS!. 

 

Textured and combo wheelthrown/handbuilt makeupbrush holder. Next time I'd add stops on the bottom, but I tested it and it still works:)

I fell over while walking through snow TWICE today. TWICE! What am I, a kindergartener?!? I was gonna have an impromptu Chicago day yesterday, looked at the metro schedule, looked at the weather, and decided staying home and shopping here was better lol

If you do decide to come down, shoot me a PM, would love to hang out - we can talk your potential employer and find all the pretty makeup:)

 
@Dayo Steph @usofjessamerica ooh pick me I want to join too!!

I don't generally venture all the way to Rosemont- kind of a haul without a car... AMC River East and I are bffs.  I want one of those brush holders- it look amazing.  And I'll move all edible things/things to chew on out of the way.. this will be exciting.

 
Mailing my gift out tomorrow and I"m in need of an elf, is there a list someone can post of those who agreed to elfing duties?

Yaay! That would be so fun.  I don't typically head to Rosemont either, but the boy wanted to go to the new mall (again! Aaaaagh!) to look at shoes. I swear he's more of a diva that I ever could be (but he does look damn good in them, so I really can't complain).   We alternate between River East, and the Skokie AMC.  

Glad you liked the brush holder! I will have to try it again. Any preferences in colors? I may make a whole bunch and stick them up in my etsy.  I would add little stoppers at the bottom this time though. 

 
Man...I caught a really nasty plague out of nowhere and have spent the last 20 hours or so sleeping and cradling my sprite and pepto bismol... I feel so disoriented! But my santee is supposed to get her gift today and I'm just really excited about that!

Oh no! I hope you start feeling better soon!

 
Feel better! Drink some mint tea or have some ginger!

Thanks! I already feel better than I had been feeling, at least I haven't reenacted The Exorcist in several hours now...

Jess, mint tea is generally my cure all! I haven't made any yet because the idea of being uprignt and doing something so simple as making tea felt way out of my reach...I think I'll attempt that now. Peppermint has magical powers...

Beautiful work!!!
 
  I just finished wrapping all of the items for my Secret Santa and I've got to admit that I'm feeling a bit sad that this is coming to an end. Perhaps we can re-visit the idea of a February (or even a quarterly) gift exchange?  :inlove:  
Click to expand...
I agree!  Maybe we can do a mini exchange in march, june, and september and then keep the big one in December.  The first three can be seasonal, spring summer and fall, and can have a lower price limit ($15?) so we aren't going too crazy all year. Clearly, I have thought a lot about this.

I love this idea!
@Dayo Steph  IT'S BEEN SO COLD in Chi this the past two days.  I quit?  Also, I'm super excited about puppy.  But I dunno how to puppy proof my apartment?  Any tips?  Things I wouldn't normally think of?

Don't talk about how cold it is in Chicago! I'm going to be there in two days for several weeks.

Get well soon!!
 
I'm elfing for someone, and she totally had to file a claim with the USPS to attempt to locate her SS's package. USPS sucks. haha! I feel so bad for her! :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

See that's what I really need to get out there for.. the mall.. maybe I'll get out there for Christmas sales?  And at least he enjoys shopping!  I know so many boys where it's like dragging a 50 pound bag of flour to get anywhere!  I never venture to Skokie either- well, I did when I lived close to there haha.

I would totally buy one off of your etsy!  I like blues and reds

Edit: OMG THERE'S AN ALLSAINTS OUTLET AT THE ROSEMONT OUTLET?!  I have to go.  And an Off 5th!?

Ah but it's been so pretty in Chicago!  Cold and beautiful.  Also, I don't think this week's going to be as bad?  It's supposed to rain on Friday- so that must mean it's getting warmer!

Oh NO! That is so upsetting! I hope everything is figured out quickly! I would cry if my SS package was lost.

Same.  Very sad.

 
I just shipped mine today, so I shipped UPS to make up for shipping a day late.  So it will still get there this week.  Hopefully I am forgiven.

 
Rats...my girl is supposed to get her gift today, but tracking hasn't updated since the 14th. I really hope she gets it...

Mine is supposed to be delivered today as well but the tracking hasn't updated!
