The ultimate cop-out for shopping for the hard-to-shop-for relative: a gift certificate? Which is, incidentally, (have I told you this?) the number one item on my kindergartner's Christmas wish list. :blink: Specifically, he'd like a Target gift card.

Oh! I've got it! Llama art!!! Put paint on little Penny's hoofs, and have her prance about a canvas. Frame it and...voila! (I threw in a little French because of DGSE being here. Poor guy always has to converse in his non-native tongue.) I'd hang it on my wall.

Thank you so much. I don't know where you get the gorgeous from though. I dont' think I'm ugly, but I'm so not gorgeous. I am not the least bit shy around people that I know. Which is why you guys see the unshy, sometimes hyper/fun side of me.5x5 said:Aww! Mel! I wouldn't have guessed you as shy, especially since I've seen photos of you and you're gorgeous!
I used to be shy, many years ago, probably until I was about 12 or so. I don't know what happened, but I am just not at all anymore. I think I'm just too curious about other people! :lol: I am pretty much just as I am here, I think. (I talk and talk and talk...)

Thanks. :smooch:tredder said:Good work on your paper, Mellybel!
I used to be very shy, too, and I still have bouts of shyness occasionally. I have a very hard time with big parties at which I know only the hosts. Most of the time, I'm okay one on one or in smaller groups, though. Anyway, I understand how you feel, Melly. :console:
Oh. But she is gorgeous,ain't she?mellybelly said:Thank you so much. I don't know where you get the gorgeous from though. I dont' think I'm ugly, but I'm so not gorgeous. I am not the least bit shy around people that I know. Which is why you guys see the unshy, sometimes hyper/fun side of me.

And a big humungous thank you to my twin for point out this to me. :smooch:

I didn't know that. How ignorant am I?!DGSE-analyst said::Just wanted to say that if i don't write cards for christmas it's b/c it's not a french tradition, nobody write cards here...[post="1092224"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]
I'll come and visit one day, Mel.mellybelly said:Doesn't anyone want to come see me? I've got cookies. Today I've been eating the peanut butter ones, with peanut butter cups in them. Actually cookies are all I've eaten today Maybe I'll make a pizza for dinner.
But back to my point...if anyone were to come to Stevens Point for Christmas, I could give you cookies. Lots of 'em. My mom isn't done with all her baking yet though. We don't even have the angel food candy yet, or the mint chocolate snappers...

I can't wait! I love Christmas and now I have even more to look forward to!DGSE-analyst said:That is so cool for you!!!
And i would be afraid too... :lol:
It's quite logical: the US, Hong kong and Australia are former British colonies. And i think it's a british tradition... So of course Frenchs can't do it! :lol:

Well, then, you're going to have to send me your address, silly!waterlily said:Seriously...I want to see the 5x5 Christmas card. Original artwork? That's fabulous. Me...I usually grab a few boxes from somewhere (depending on how late I'm getting around to sending them, it's the cute ones from the local gift shops if I'm on the ball, or the cutest I can find at wherever I'm buying milk or Tide or whatever just before Christmas).

Mel! You are gorgeous! Don't you argue with me! :hmm:mellybelly said:I feel so awful right now.
My twin just commented to me on a post that was written to me, that I somehow missed. I didn't mean to ignore it, honest. I just never saw them. So first I must offer up a big huge apology to 5x5 and tredder. I love you both so very much and I didn't mean to ignore your posts.
Thank you so much. I don't know where you get the gorgeous from though. I dont' think I'm ugly, but I'm so not gorgeous. I am not the least bit shy around people that I know. Which is why you guys see the unshy, sometimes hyper/fun side of me.

ldhi: everyone! I'm only here for a minute--"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is almost on. Let's all say a prayer that I've figured out how to tape a show (*ahem* Lost! ) and watch TV at the same time.
