My kid is only in kindergarten... can't go back to work yet... hubby works
long hours and I'm one of those who fall into a "winter" hibernation.... :(

Well, what I do is make sweatshirts using those Iron on blank transfer paper made by Avery. I find the transfers for "Dark" material come out better. I scan photos and/or use computer clipart and
they come out pretty cute too. One time I made a sweatshirt "collage" of photos and I had
gotten a lot of compliments. I make them for my kid mostly but they're cute
"side" gifts for Christmas, etc. for family, etc.

Anybody else with more suggestions?

When the temp falls below 60 degrees, that's when winter starts for me.

Oh right&#33; Iwas begining to wonder if you lived on the north pole....

:rolleyes: Yeah "Clocker" I guess you can say that... :rolleyes:
I got a seperate room in my house filled with all kinds of craft stuff anticipating this.

That&#39;s a good idea with the cd&#39;s, by the way.
:)

I would recommend that you take numerous photos of your little ankle-biter in your homemade sweatshirts.

The more darling, the better.

That way, when he&#39;s 16, he&#39;ll have even more reasons to hate you.

:D Yeah maybe... Clockster.... I skipped the ones in the bathtub though...
By the way, I paid you a Compliment about the cd&#39;s... most people say
"Thank you".

It IS a great idea...

Homemade T-shirts, Homemade CD&#39;s, Homemade cooking... nothing wrong
with "homemade" . Nowadays most don&#39;t go through the trouble anymore.
It takes a lot of thought and care to make something yourself instead of buying it in
a store. I think most who are considerate and receive gifts like this appreciate it more too.

:)

Well, I guess starting this topic certainly didn&#39;t boost my morale... I guess no one
else&#39;s either... I guess any topic someone creates is subject to being beaten up. I think I&#39;m just going to stay out of these boards and just stick to downloading and
sharing files.... :( No offense to the "good" people out there... :)

Oh well...

dude you live in canada?

Winters here give you serious depression... ;D

i tend to go the pub lots&#33;&#33; oh, i do that all year round&#33; :D

the winter is only good for wrapping p, doing overtime at work and then Xmas and New Year parties&#33;&#33;&#33;

I used to play football all winter, in the freezing rain and everything - I stopped after I saw that movie with Anthony Hopkins and that other guy, where they&#39;re lost in the middle of some mountains and they have to cut the soles of their feet off because they&#39;re all frost-bitten and rotting.

What did the movie have to do with you stopping? Were you afraid you&#39;d get lost whilst playing football in the mountains?
