The other two are small leather yarmulkes, with other people's names on the inside. One says it belongs to "LIOR". No one in the family named Lior. I wonder where he got these two; did he raid the "free yarmulke" basket at his synagogue??? |
: For some reason that last line totally has me cracking up! I can't even begin to imagine the thought process behind sending someone not ONE, but THREE used yarmulkes.|

Maybe she heard this too and is just trying to help??? Not actually trying to force you to keep it.

It came with a tag "For women who love Lia Sophia jewelry or other jewelry." It is supposed to hold necklaces but it looks like a key hook. Btw, his wife loves Lia Sophia and owns almost the enitre catalog. The jewelry is fairly expensive for being so poorly made. He stained them all the color that his wife likes and made one for her, each of his step-daughters and me. He told me I am supposed to hang it on the wall in my bedroom. Your reaction  fil. How clever! His wife must have felt the same way, because she hung hers in the closet.It will go great in the: Hallway to hang our keys. The gift: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f8...C/DSC04975.jpg A doll bed I commissioned fil to make. I gave him a picture with the dimensions, thinking he couldn't screw it up. I was wrong. The bed was beautiful, just like the picture except that her woodburned dd's name and the word baby into it. Along with a garish heart. They also bought a hideous baby, that came with a polyester pillow, blanket, disposable diaper and bottle. As soon as dd opened the present, fil's wife took the doll out of the box so it couldn't be returned and we found out it smelled like baby powder. DD, not having used a bottle, said that it was baby medicine. I told fil's wife that we didn't want anymore babies, just the bed but she didn't listen. Your reaction: Oh thank you (trying to cover up the fact that I was horrified) He smiled and said he has to make one for our other dd now, because he put dd1's name on it. It will go great in the: I wish I could sand out the uglies, but I will make a fluffy matress out of muslin and a pillow and hope that it covers it up. I am also going to make a quilt for it. |

His whole purpose for buying this is because he thought the light saber battle between 8 yo's would be HILARIOUS to watch. :so then--it get worse--christmas morning the 8yo's are opening their presents and what does my dh buy them--PAINTBALL GUNS--17yo was just about to die from laughing--he was like come on kids lets go outside and shoot eat other yay! luckily both 8yo seem to understand that [aintballs would hurt and they never even tried to shoot each other. There was also no grand light saber battle either-much to ds's disappointment. |
