Trying to get into the holiday spirit

This is what started my brainstorming. 

via Apartment Therapy

I wanted to do something for the holidays.  So I decided to make these snowflakes instead.  I'm not into religious figures around my home at anytime of year, especially during the hols, and christmas fairy lights would just wreak havoc on my electrical bill, so I settled for snowflakes. 

It's cheap, DIY and pretty. 

TOOLS

Prototypes

First one using the 'snowflake' fold

First few ones

more....

and the finished front door.

I decided to do it on my front door because my walls are made of cement and I was doubtful that I could push in the thumbtacks into it. WARNING: Your thumbs may ache after all the tacking. :)

Happy holidays!!! :)

BOOK CLUB

My first official BOOK for the recently formed BOOK CLUB PH is:

THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING!!!

I am excited :D  I've read this before, but it was so long ago I want to reread it. :)

SICK AGAIN!!!!

I'm now home, on a FRIDAY, because I have an infection in BOTH my ears, my sinuses are shot and my nose is all torn up.  I'm back on antibiotics / steroids and I'm now poorer than I've ever been in my life.  EVER.

It's harder on me that I have to pay for all these meds than the actual sickness is.  And it's all coming out all at the same time!  What the F man. 

I knew this year could get worse than it already has!  :(  *SIGH*

Please let this end already.  I want some good juju.  GOOD VIBES ALL AROUND. 

At least I can now watch all the DVDs around the house.  Also reread "The Once and Future King" for the book club. 

That and the thought of work is keeping me going.  I got a new laptop.  For work.  That's what is keeping me going.   It's pretty. :)

This will be a test of my strength.  My stubbornness.  It will all work out, I hope.  Will just keep the faith that I can muddle through this holiday.  I feel guilty not being able to give gifts to people I care about this year.  That's one thing I liked about the holiday, picking out gifts. 

Anyway.  I gotta come up with a scheme to get a truck so I can move in a new fridge and aircon :)
