No Money for Presents this year....PIC FIXED!

[Catty1]

My dear friends and family,

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 it' s 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: Regular, Light and 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.

Candace,

All I see is a red "x". I'm dying to see what these things look like.

[Catty1]

Oh dear! I'll email you!

Anyone else just seeing an x?

[Karen]

Yes, we all just see the "broken image" icon. You can't post images directly from a mail account.

[Catty1]

Oops. I fix.... :o

Now that I have picked myself off of the floor from laughing. I want to thank you for solving my shopping problem. LOL

Roflmao!!!!!!:d

[binka_nugget]

Lol!!!! :D :D :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Oh, my goodness! What a laugh you gave me!!! :D

It reminded me of the days my aunt and uncle owned a mom and pop grocery store. One of their regular customer's was a lady well into her 70s. She always bought maxi pads.

One day, my aunt had to ask her why she bought them (my aunt is not a shy person). The lady said she put them in her shoes as insoles!!!

This was way before the days of Dr. Sholes shoe liners.

I still crack up when I think of that. Now I'll crack up when I think of your bedroom slippers too!!! :D :D

[Freedom]

Goodness you actually MADE a pair? Or someone did, to put with the email! Too funny.

[Twisterdog]

LOL ... too funny.

And what's really sad, those are actually cuter slippers than a lot of real slippers I've seen for sale! :D

I am a slipper FREAK.... anytime I am not wearing shoes I HAVE to be wearing slippers.... this will save me lots of money instead of replacing slippers for ten bucks a pop ;)
