I know exactly what you mean.

My boys used to be so easy, they loved everything. Then when they got about 15, it became so hard to do presents with them.

You know what's funny, though, is that I always done an Advent calendar and filled it with little gifts, candies, etc. So last year, I figured they wouldn't miss it since one is 18 and the other is almost 16. Was I wrong! They threw a fit, LOL!

So, I had to rush around trying to pull that together. That was REALLY hard, trying to find tiny things for them! I bought a lot of itunes cards, LOL!

Flybreit....Just send my your address and I will send it out. The only problem is that after I offered the pattern I went to dig it out and realized that I have the pattern and pillow, but not the directions for the table runner. It is so easy to figure out, all it is a long piece of black wool with 3 of the poinsettias on it. I used a 24 inch square and placed the flower in the center. I wanted a table topper, and the colors of the red against the black was just gorgeous, I always get comments on it. Hopefully the pattern will be enough. Sorry about that.

Here's my project. I started making these ties after my dear hubby died suddenly in 2001 in his honor for his fellow deacons, elders & minister in the church we attend. Probably all total: 20+. Also did others for long time friends. They really liked them. Made of 100% cotton.

One neat thing that I came across a while back was cool ties. If any of these young men are atheltic they'll love them!! Also, they're good for yardwork, etc for the olders folks too!! :lol: I fit into that catagory. :(
