Christmas Gifts: Slippers

My Dear Family & Friends,

Somewhat embarrassing to admit, I'm not getting an annual bonus and Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree that it's a splendid idea, and should you wish to do the same, I've included the instructions below.

How to make bedroom slippers out of maxi pads:

* You need four maxi pads to make a pair.
* Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part.
* The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top.
* Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part.

Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc.

These slippers are:

* Soft and Hygienic
* Non-slip grip strips on the soles
* Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
* No more bending over to mop up spills
* Disposable and biodegradable
* Environmentally safe
* Three convenient sizes: (1) Regular, (2) Light and (3) Get Out the Sand Bags.

I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself....

Awaiting your response. It's crucial that I get the right size for each one of you.



Hehehehe........ I only wish I was creative enough to write that.

Ha ha. I've made these before and gave them to my sister-in-law for Christmas. The next day while driving through Price and Spanish Fork Canyons their washer fluid motor didn't work so they couldn't see because it was super wet and muddy. The slippers came in handy and were put to another great emergency use. Can't go wrong when your slippers are ask versatile as these!

Andrea, I am ashamed to be your little "blister" but then again, you rock just for putting that up.
