It makes me realize you write unafraid to show how sentimental you are and I think that is something that makes your stuff even more enjoyable. Never lose that gift!

And I spent hours and hours agonising on which colour to give to which parent! And they loved the presents! I've been a very naughty blogger just recently, what with my internet going horribly wrong and then as soon as it was fixed, the Christmas Variety Show kept me busy and now all the Christmas prep.... however I promise to be better in the future.
