Can you believe Christmas Day is just a week away? I still have loads of gifts to buy, boxes to wrap. I
haven’t baked a single cookie or nogged a single egg! I guess you know what it’s
time to do, Loved Ones.
Time to visit
Auntie Helen’s Crapht Corner…
Christmas Edition.
The season is here
when so many of us want to blow off the stuff we should be doing commemorate
the holiday with something special that no one else can (or would) make.
Sure to become a perennial
favorite, feel free to sing along as we count down
The 12 Craphts of Christmas!
By the 12th
day of Christmas this stuff was made by me:
12 Kitschy Kits

| Why is Santa on the phone on the potty cover? |
11th Hour Party Themes
 |
| You're right, Betsy, all the chemicals in the air here DO make me feel extra Christmassy. |
10 Lousy gift choices
 |
| Gifts that say Merry Christmas 365 days a year? -- If by Merry Christmas you mean - Where's my dinner, woman? |
9 whatever these
are
 |
| Painted clothes pins? Ornaments? Toys? What? |
8 tacky tea towels
 |
| These are GUEST towels, Okay? I wouldn't go to this kind of trouble for FAMILY! |
7 Kinds of Cookies Crumbling
 |
| Food in unnatural colors and loaded with sugar - now that's how you say - Merry Christmas and Let's Diet in the New Year. |
6 Stitchers B!#ching
 |
| Mona lived in the shadows of the other girls all year long, but at the Christmas knit fest? She'd been bulking up with RHOVYL for months just for this moment to shine. |
5 Candle Rings
 |
| You're not putting PLAIN candles on your Christmas table are you? |
4 Drunken Dials

| I don't care if you are the super-er-visor in charge of my buh('scuse me) b-ranch, you can kish my mish-letoe! |
3 Strange Plans

| Tell me more. Because I spent years dressing my own dolls as a child and never earned a cent. SOMEBODY OWES ME BIG TIME. |
2 Reindeer Romeos

Joining Wow Us Wednesday
I'll never sing the "12 Days of Christmas" the same...lol! Is that really you with the reindeer butter? I believe this will go down as a Christmas classic and must be reposted every year!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's me. I tried singing it to make sure the words fit, sometimes you have to be creative to make it work
ReplyDeleteIn true Dear Helen Hartman style! Hey, I am a wiz at tri-chem ...
ReplyDeleteGreat post DHH.

ReplyDeleteI will take one of everything! =p
ReplyDeleteBut the westinghouse stuff will stay with me.
Yes, now that they are all vintagey but if you got a modern iron? Me thinks coconut heads would roll!
DeleteHey I like your butter sculpture! As for that Romeo Rudolph... that would be one bummer of a gift:@)
ReplyDeleteI just can't imagine someone sending away to buy it from the back of a magazine.
DeleteThis is a hoot!
ReplyDeletefa la la la la tee da! Here in Minnesota we sculpt our butter in 100 lb blocks into the heads of the Diary princesses; it is a dairy state ya know. Happy Holandais, Helen!
DeleteCarlene - thanks - loved your blog too!
DeleteTammy - I love the idea of a real butter sculpture - but if I worked day and night mine would never look more like a reindeer that a stick of butter right out of the box!
Deletei love the "demure" eyes on those styrofoam romeos. so festive
ReplyDeleteYes, that's what you look for in your Christmas crafts, isn't it?
DeleteI'm gasping for air!! How hilarious! I've made a 12 days list, but not nearly this great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me - I absolutely am following you right back!
Thanks - I loved your blog and am happy to have you here.
DeleteWords fail me.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteMerry Christmas Aunty Helen!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think #6 is my favorite. I do remember "trichem" - if I remember right, it was always difficult to get the paint out. . .maybe I was just doing it wrong.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Helen.
Your butter sculpture is amazeballs;) You are a nut and I love it!
