Travis Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 How is it that it's the middle of July and I'm already thinking about Christmas presents!? Am I the only one? How many of you are making Christmas gifts this year? What are you planning on making? Quote
c_lang Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Don't feel bad Travis, I'm also in the process of making Christmas Gifts. I'm making Portraits for family as gifts. When I first started, I only was doing 5 now I'm up to 20 different ones. Seems others found out and wanted one. I'm glad I got a few months to get them all done. One good thing about starting this early, you have plenty of time to get them done without seeming rushed. Quote
Travis Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Posted July 14, 2009 ...One good thing about starting this early, you have plenty of time to get them done without seeming rushed. LOL...yah. Good point. I really work at my own pace which is sloooooooow. Maybe I should start tonight! Quote
Vector01 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Hey: What? Xmas...No way man! I havn't even had the chance to run my AC yet. Almost August and it ain't done nothing but rain I can't even think about Xmas yet. Quote
Barry5180 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO! It can't be that time of year again already. I'm still organizing and unpacking from moving, and have what seems like a hundred other commitments that are conspiring to keep me out of the shop. Before I can even begin worrying about Christmas I still have a wedding gift to cut for my stepdaughter who is getting married on Sept. 26. Barry Quote
yost69 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Im a little behind i guess. Well that doesnt sound right. But anyway I just moved up to halloween yesterday. Unless cutting ornaments for project rudolph is considered christmas presents, then i jumped back in time to halloween. Ben Quote
Fran Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Well, I planned to make some gifts this year, if this darn heat will let up. But then I haven't really decided what to make and for who. Don't have that many people in my life, so will probably get er done when the weather cools off some. Fran Quote
Christina Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Yep, it's just about the right time to think about Christmas..........it'll be here before you know it! I've tried to work on gifts, but like Fran, it's just been so hot I can't do much of anything. I did my butterfly box and decided that had to go to my sister in law. I'm working on a portrait of my mom and her dog "Little Man".............my first portrait! And I'm sure wishing I had blown it up much bigger! I left it at 8" X 10".............and it's a Scotty mix type terrier with loads of fur and boy oh boy am I having fun with all those little jaggidy pieces for a first portrait.........GEEZ. But it's going okay just really slow. I also have my Lady Swinging on the Moon in progress..........again I did it the same size and should have done it much bigger. I want to do a few ornaments............but my curve/circle cutting is still pretty bad lololol. I keep practicing but it doesn't get much better so far. My hubby has put in his order for a portrait of our niece Ashleigh, one of his dad and he keeps seeing this one and that one that he just has to have lolol. I cut Joscrolls "Manure Occurith" as a gift for a coworker of my son's........then forgot to take pictures to share............dumb dumb dumb! But it turned out great. Hopefully I'll actually find time to get the ones done that I want to do! Christina Quote

Christina Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 LOL Dale............that's a thought! But I don't think the sander will solve all my cutting problems with circles hehehe. Christina Quote
wombatie Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 I have decided to do name ornaments for the young ones and named keyrings for the older ones as stocking fillers. Thanks Steve Goode your a life saver LOL LOL Marg By the way Christine don't worry about circles I have trouble with straight lines, circles are a breeze. LOL Quote
