I have a major thing for the letter “T”. It’s my last initial (now that I’m married of course) and I can’t seem to stop collecting them. I worked as a graphic designer in college and still do a lot of graphic work now inadvertently for our school clients. So a part of me has always loved fonts.
I was meandering around Hobby Lobby the other day, when lo and behold, what did I see but “T” ribbon. It was perfect and I bought all the rolls they had.
Now it’s making an appearance on our Christmas presents for the other “T” family members.
And no, there’s not coal in that bag — it’s gift cards! I saw it at Schnucks and couldn’t resist. I have been wrapping all the gifts in simple brown craft paper and I pulled out one of my faux-fur sheepskins for the tree skirt.
On a side note, I saw this sheepskin blanket and fell in love. Love.
Soft, turquoise goodness.
It’s $800!! From a store in the mall!! I promised JT I would wear it as a coat every day (even in the 100 degree humid STL summers) and sleep under it every night but no dice.
So there you have it. Although I’ve been trying to do some Christmas good deeds (I donated blood on my day off on Monday!) I also suffer heavily from the “I wants” and other such first world problems. I’m no stranger to the green-eyed monster. Just trying to keep it all in perspective.
