| "Canvas SANTA" purchased in Providence, RI December 2003 |
Ummmm - you're probably wondering
what planet I'm coming from?
what I mean is...
Do you ever buy a GIFT for yourself?
guilt-free! no thoughts about your budget?
I HAVE!
a photography course is the next
GIFT to myself!
call it an early Bday present,
IF an excuse is needed??
actually,
JPE is supportive of any
"creative" endeavor I pursue.
SO - I'm slapping down fifty buckeroos for...
"Find Your Eye: A photo course

The way I shop for presents is when I see something that reminds me of someone/something I know they need or want then I buy it. I loathe buying gifts just to buy gifts. For others I go for things that are usable(food,bath stuff, candles,etc). But anyway, that means that often when I see something someone will love - I love it too and buy one for myself as well. Otherwise I might be tempted to not give it to them because I love it myself. :-) Besides my husband is the worse gift buyer ever! Now I give him a list to shop buy so I sort of always buy my own gifts.
ReplyDeleteThat course looks great. I'm going to have to think about it.
cool - how's it coming getting settled in your new place?
ReplyDeleteSelf gifting is the best because I get exactly what I want!! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you're taking a course. Your photography is amazing and I can't WAIT to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Santa. He's too cute. :D
You will love the course, Christine. Kat is an amazing photographer.
ReplyDeleteYour Santa is adorable. And, yes I self-gift often...in fact I finally got around to self-gifting myself a new dishwasher. I am excited to hear about the photography course...
ReplyDeleteHAPPY PRE-BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! I so agree with you Christine that often the best gifts are the ones you get yourself. And, that photography course sounds perfect; kind of like taking a painting class it will help you 'SEE" things better. The technicalities of it all are often the very least of it! Plus, isn't it great to have a gift that continues to celebrate beyond the day. I like to think of my Birthdays as my Year to Celebrate (:
ReplyDeletePS That vintage Santa is too cute. He definitely was (and will be) well loved. And, thank you for the Birthday wish, my fellow Sag. The party continues.......
I love self gifting. It took me years to appreciate that giving myself what I wanted rather than hoping and wishing to have someone else fullfill my needs was the healthier of the two options.
ReplyDeleteLOve love love the Santa!
