I finished something!! Yay!!!

Lately everything has been seeming to be seriously rushed, and it seems as though I have so many things half done or almost done. And you would think something as simple as putting up the Christmas tree would be one of those things you can just "get done". Nope. Not this chick! I do believe that right now I have about 3 to 4 different projects going on that I am desperate to finish!!! Here's the list:
1. Bows. I have made a sh*tload of bows it seems lately, and I still have about 4 more rolls of ribbon to do as well as Christmas ones. Need to really get on that.
2. April's diaper cake. (Can't finish that til find that perfect topper at Disney!)
3. Packing for this trip. (Can't finish that either, obvious reasons!) But having all the luggage in my room cause there is already some stuff in them doesn't help much. I'm ready to go!!
4. Touch up paint in the kitchen. For some lovely reason, the table is sticking to the wall peeling off paint. As before, it's taking 5, 6 or maybe even 7 coats. I'm on coat 3.
5. Putting up the Christmas tree. I started this, in what I thought was plenty of time before the kids got home from MDO, and it turns out that even with 3 new sets of lights, I am short one. Y'all! My fake tree didn't GROW over the past year!! How did this happen!!! I replaced 3 bad sets, with 3 new sets...and am still short!!! So there the poor thing sits...no ornaments, just waiting, not lit all the way to the top. Lights were bought tonight, so after the Lego awesomeness tomorrow hopefully it'll come together!
6. Shopping for Mr. E's first birthday. I have been to several stores, and it seems that none other will do for my first nephew. Disney store look out. That's my big Sunday project. After being at the mall...I'll need the rest of the day off. Seriously. And I'm only going to the one store.

As the title of the blog says, I did finally FINALLY finish something! The teacher gifts for Christmas. Since we'll be leaving early I wanted to go ahead and get these done.
TaDa!

 

 

I am not quite sure what I'm more excited about with these!! The fact that I did something new to me, the fact that I finished something, that I did something "craftsy", or that I have a SET for all 12 teachers. That's right, 12 sets, 24 jars, and comes out to about $2 a piece to make! I did have some ribbon I was going to use instead of the yarn, but at the time all that yarn was just hanging out on my counter. Thanks Carol! So maybe for an idea to sell the stuff would be a pretty ribbon and maybe cover the lid. Could still probably do it for just under $3 a jar! And these smell sooooo goood too!

Coming up tomorrow: How my princess did with the robot!!
