The other night I cut out 8 sets of Sheri's Christmas tags. I started to put one together, keep in mine it's like really late, and I thought they didn't fit together right and I couldn't figure out why in the world Sheri put the score dots on the front and back of the santa jacket. I was in skype with her but wasn't about to ask her and risk hurting her feelings. So I just kept folding them and thought "well her's are adorable so I just have to wait until I'm done."
Then yesterday comes along and I"m not feeling well. So I grab the eight sets I had cut, my fake snow, and a paint brush and go lay on the couch to put snow on them. I do the ends of the jacket sleeves and the collar and I"m thinking these still just don't look right. Oh well I think I will just finish them all up doing the hat, jackets, and pants.
When I finish them all I look at Casey and say "isn't santa's jacket suppose to have white along the bottom to" He says yep and down the front on both sides. Oh man he's right. Okay something definately isn't right. So I hop online to look at Sheri's picture again and about have a heart attack.
Have you figured out what I done wrong yet? In my half exhausted state of mind I folded the jackets wrong!!!!! I simply cut them and folded them in half not paying a bit of attention to the fact I should have folded on the score lines Now, you would have thought that would have been my FIRST clue and if not the fact they didn't fit together right definately should have clued me but nope not in my current state of mind it didn't.
So I spent another half hour last night trying to figure out how to fix them because I was not cutting them all out agian. Then of course I had to tell Sheri my lovely adventure to which her and Rach both got a good laugh!!!!!!
All in all I still don't think they look bad and hey if I use them on all my neices and nephews presents they won't know the difference. At least my hats and pants are right!!!!!
Just thought you all might want a laugh on me. Oh yes and here are my finished jacked up tags so you don't have to go look for Sheri's thread (which I haven't posted them to anyway). Notice the snow ALL the way down the center on all of them but two, the two i hadn't cut yet!!!!!
