Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme
TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.
1. What 5 items are on your holiday wish list this year?
- National Lampoon's "Vacation" movies
- The Beatles Rock Band (I already got this as an early gift!)
- A gift certificate to my favorite massage therapist
- A new desk that I can use for sewing and computer-ing
- Winter boots for my January trip to Minnesota
2. What is your favorite handmade gift you have received?
Ghosts made from Kleenexes that my sister made me and all our cousins when we were under the age of five. My cousin's response, when opening her box, "This is just junk!" and proceeded to toss aside the box. My sister cried. Good times, good times.
3. What handmade gift have you always wanted to tackle?
A reversible stocking. I tried to make a reversible stocking for my boyfriend two years ago, but it was a disaster. The opening was too small and the fur I used on top was UGLY and pulled weirdly. Needless to say, I threw it away for him. I didn't want him keeping something around that was THAT UGLY! Maybe next year I'll try again.
4. What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?
I loved Barbie as a kid. And bikes. So whenever Santa brought a new bike or Barbie house/motorhome/apartment, I was always a happy kid!
5. What items are on your kid’s wish list this year?
No kids for me... but my niece and nephews will be getting fun gifts! My 7 year old nephew would like five video games, he has told me. Apparently, he needs one for his DS, one for his PS2, one for his Xbox, and at least two more games and I can chose the game platform. (Yeah, not gonna get you five, kid!)
6. What is your favorite holiday food?
Lefse. My ancestors may have left Norway three generations ago, but we still love lefse. Its a lot of work to make, so it only gets done during holidays. Always a fun treat!
7. What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays?
I will be sewing two quilts for Christmas this year. One for my sister and the other for my niece. Both want quilts backed in satin-like fabric, just like their baby blankets!
8. What is your favorite holiday movie?
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
- Miracle on 34th Street
- A Christmas Carol
9. Favorite holiday song?
Robert Earl Keen's Merry Christmas from the Family
10. Favorite holiday pastime?
Being with family and friends!
And now I'm tagging two friends: Beth and Janell
