For example...
White Elephant gift for the office:
The paper couldn't have been more perfect if I had designed it myself. The main box is a shoe box, the 3 gifts are a box of Miss Swiss hot chocolate with marshmallows ($1), a coffee mug ($12) and a coffee mug warmer ($10). The wrapping paper and ribbons were courtesy of Dollar Tree, and the index cards are leftovers from my studying. I can't wait for them to open this! Or better yet, see who will be the first to brave the elements and pick this! I wish I had a bag so I could conceal the awesomeness of this wrapping paper, but I don't feel like working on this anymore.
Next up is fixing dress for dinner event Hollywood style at PT job:
Don't worry. I promise (in a non-committal way) to share a photo of the whole dress and maybe of myself. Maybe. The party is next Thursday, and all I need to complete this is a shawl, because the dress is *gasp* strapless. I'm getting bold in my old age. Maybe I'll show the whole dress if I pass my SPHR... more reasons to work my butt off.
Off I go. Wish me luck. Trust me, I'll need every bit of it for Monday!
Good Luck!!! You know we all be cheering you on and will be proud of you no matter what the outcome!
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to see pictures of you rockin' that dress
