Your friend is very lucky indeed to have you for a friend! ;-)

Thank you...

Only certain friends get beaded or stitched gifts. The ones who appreciate
them.


I'll never give my sister anything beaded again. She'd be bitching about
how
her work scissors would walk away - so I made a long beaded leash that
would
clip to her desk drawer and the scissors. I think it is still sitting in
her
bedroom because it was too nice for the office (she works at the transfer
station). It was plastic beads for a reason....

I was going to trade my sister for yours.....but I wouldn't do that to you.
Mine has more money than Bill Gates, yet buys all of our Xmas gifts at
thrift shops, dollar stores and discount outlets.........in other words,
anywhere she can save a buck. It doesn't matter to her that the item is too
small, too ugly, wrong colour or wrong style.....and I have no clue why she
is so thoughtless.

Picture a slightly overweight woman with 3 chins trying on this gift......a
tight spandex turtleneck in what could only be called sh*t brindle brown.
Said woman tossed it back to her and told her to take it back......of course
she couldn't cuz discount store sales are final. LOL.

OTOH, she got mad at me when I went to the dollar store the next year and
bought all of her stuff there and wrapped it in newspaper.....ROFL!! Yelled
at me, in fact. Heh heh......I loved it. But she still didn't get the
hint.

Sisters.......take mine please!!

HF (of course, I don't know the overweight woman..cough....but we all get a
good giggle out of that Xmas)



Ah - sisters, they are a pip sometimes. But I'll keep mine, I know her bad
habits already.

and we still laugh about the year I received a green pepper and salt from a
cousin's wife (now ex). Inside the box was the tag from the year before - it
was from my sister to the cousin.
