Pam, you were on Jeopardy?! Get out of here! You are so amazing!
PamD-
we leave a pineapple every year for Mrs. Claus because she's as important in this whole deal as well. (bubb'a words) so your step kids must think you are important too!
I loved reading everyone's wonderful gift lists (if you knew about it ahead of time or not ) Sounds like everyone had a great holiday.
I got a pineapple from my step kids (I still haven't figured out why) and that's it.
Enjoy the rest of 2009 and get ready for an AWESOME 2010!!!

Well, I'm thinking at least they thought of you, and do you like pineapples?
Great thread - love reading all the responses. Love the pickle story!! Not sure if it's a very good thing or a very bad thing that I haven't made it to Dylan's Candy Bar yet.
I had to buy my new computer earlier in the month, so not many Christmas presents for me (I buy all my own) - just the Storybook cartridge and the new Harry Potter movie. But DsDs got me a gift, which is not typical, so that was very sweet - a bath product set kind of thing and a Minnie Mouse Pez dispenser.
And DH did get me something awesome. I had mentioned that I wanted something but couldn't justify buying it so close to Christmas, so he took the money he was going to use for something else and gave it to me to buy what I wanted - a little gadget that converts slides and negatives into digital images. I have tons of slides of my mom's that I have been wanting to do something with and this is perfect. I've been playing with it and it is fantastic - pictures I've never seen before, including lots from before I was born. I had my Dad bring over all the old slides the other day - about 30 carousels full. It's going to be a fun winter wading through them all!
NEE, can you give me some info on the gadget? DH's parents have a ton and a half of slides and he called a place to find out how much it would be to put them on DVD, they said $1.25 each! For that price, we can just get a gadget!
Thanks
for three reasons.....one, because she is as important in getting all the stuff ready. two, because nobody leaves anything for her like they leave him food and drinks and why not her? and three, because when christmas is all over santa takes her to hawaii for a vacation because they have worked so hard all year leading up to christmas. and that's how he tells her they where they are going. and she gets a gift when he comes home!Is there a reason why it's a pineapple?
Well, I like that idea.. Do you think you can text them and offer that idea up for next year????
me too! like the poly!Ah, I'd like to get a pineapple if it were a clue to a vacation I was going on
Ah Susan, you're making me really need those 12x24 sheets of Bazzill. I heart Bazzill!
Thanks for the report, NEE! For the past few weeks, since we saw the Wolverine in a holiday catalog, we've been talking about maybe getting one - I was hoping to hear that it would do a good job on negatives. That's what we have a LOT of going back many years...only one or two little boxes of slides. We're weighing that vs. just throwing the negs on our color scanner and seeing how that might work...
Although time consuming, I'm wondering if playing around with the colors in Photoshop might be fixes for the best of the negs after putting them through the Wolverine. (We might have to do that with any of the ones we'd color scan anyway...?)
I'd love to talk with you sometime later more about how it worked...and didn't...for you. Good luck with your project - sounds like it is moving along great for you! Congrats to your DH on his recognizing this as a great holiday gift!
NEE- what a great gift. i saw one at Kohls last year at christmas time and wanted to buy it in the worse way and did not. now i'm sorry i didn't.
please update us on your project. i just love that you are doing it.
Thanks for the info NEE, I'll show it to DH and see if he thinks it will work for what he wants.
