My Christmas Wish List

I have a list that could go on forever, but there are certain things I want worse than others.

1. A house (Apartment living is not for me!)

2. A second car (I am tired of only having one car and it doesn't have to be fancy. Just to get me to and from point A to point B safely.)

3. My craft room finished (I am tired of trying to sew and scrapbook in a tiny space.)

4. A Wicked Witch of the West Tree topper (good luck finding one because I haven't!)

5. Lots of Borders gift cards (I love reading!)

6. Gift cards to craft stores (A.C. Moore, Michael's, Joann's, etc.)

7. Fabric for quilting (Lots and lots of fabric! Okay. So I am addicted to fabric. LOL)

8. Magazine subscriptions to any quilting or scrapbooking magazines. (I need ideas.)

9. A laptop table (I am tired of holding my laptop in my lap.)

10. Vintage hanky's (I want to make a quilt out of them.)

The list could go on, but I will stop here.

LOL! It seems like a really good to do list for the future. I want to see a plan for this one!

Good luck with your list! :D

Ugh, I lived in an apartment for a little over a year, and it sucked. The guy above us became a chain-smoking, heavy-drinking morphine addict. (He had an idiot doctor who gave him morphine patches for nerve damage.)

And WE were the ones who got evicted. For no reason. Little did they know, they were doing us a favor!

4. A Wicked Witch of the West Tree topper (good luck finding one because I haven't!) I created one like this once years ago....I'll see if I still have the instructions. It was a one of a kind I made for a friend but I think you could reproduce it if you had patience....

Michelle W. Oct 13, 2007, 7:13pm EDT

Thanks Susan. I have tried to find anything to make one or buy one. I just think she is the greatest character ever!

I have several sources for free magazine subscriptions. I just checked and there are no quilting or scrapping ones, but who knows what might transpire by christmas. Also, you might check the websites of different magazines - there are lots of free patterns and pictures for ideas out there.

DVD talk forum's free magazine list (updated daily)
Fatwallet forums The second sticky here is their magazine subscription transfer thread, where they list new free magazine offers as well as subscriptions different users have that they're looking to give away the remaining time on.
Arlana's freebies - a whole section on magazines. Sometimes it's just one issue, sometimes a whole sub. Following her link for the free issue of Quilter's World leads to the website where you'll see photos of projects and a free project series as well as additional free projects and ideas. This is the homepage link: Quilter's World.

Then there's Adperk which gives you points for watching video ads, and with those points you can buy subscriptions. They have a few interesting magazines and say there are more in the works, they look interesting to me but none yet are crafting related.

Hope that helps at least a little. :)

Nice list!

I can send on the paper crafting magazines I've received. Would that help? They're in perfect shape - I like the ideas, but have not tried any of them.

Great list.....have you thought about a tie quilt (made from men's ties)?

reply to this comment

Michelle W. Oct 19, 2007, 10:05pm EDT

That would definitely help Leslie! LOL My husband might not like it too much, though. He hasn't seen my list yet! LOL

I have not tried to make a quilt out of ties. I'd have to go buy a ton of them from the thrift store just to get started. I have seen pictures of tree skirts for the Christmas tree made from ties that are really neat looking.
