I hate asking for gifts. I would MUCH rather have money. Seriously. You have noooo idea. And here I am, stuck not knowing what to ask for.

So she calls me today and is like "I have a week left. What do you want. Tell me now!"

I know I'm getting money for cloths. Which translates to jeans. I need them. Desperately.

And I'm going to ask for dress socks. I need those also.

So, what else do I ask for?

So far these are my ideas:
Fabric Store gift certificates
HobLob gift certificates
Bend the Rules Sewing by Any Karol
Sew Subversive
Sew U
Saturday Night Hat
Hitler's Mustache (my poetry professor's book.... hehe)
Dress socks
A new cell phone.... but I know I'm getting that anyway...


urm.... what else should I ask for?

Hitler's Mustache? interesting. What are dress socks?

How about.. umm.. jewlery? Shoes? Hats? Lots and lots of fabric (you can get mixed packs where I live)? Or.. chocolate? I like chocolate. You can tell your mom to get me chocolate if you don't want it.

Sew What Skirts!!!! I totally love that book.

I think your skills are beyond Bend The Rules Sewing, to be honest. I found the projects really boring and "meh."

Oh, how about some sort of gift certificate to iTunes? I'm sure they have those?

Starbucks Card!!! Fun for caffiene addicts. I wouldn't mind one myself.

Fabric paint/stencil supplies
Renewal of your fabric store membership?

Do the cookies have colored sprinkles on top? My daughter at some cookies she really liked the other day, but I don't know what they were.

haha... that was my birthday gift this year!

Birthday gift next year?

Drinking money! (I'm turning 21 on May 7th!)

I know that's awful, but drinks are expensive, so that will give me some money to go out with my friends.... and, in theory, it should last a long time, since I don't really drink much.... except that I'll probably spend it on craft supplies.... because I'm like that....

Goodwill Gift Cards (http://www.goodwillinc.org/gift.html)


I thought about asking for that... my mother wouldn't go for it.. i know her... she refused to give me rent money because it's "not a good gift".... but... whatever...

I'm getting cash for cloths... so I can take that to goodwill if I want!
