Just in case you didn't know...

The holiday gift guide is still in full force over at the Handmade Parade Blog. It will be a great resource for those of us who took the Handmade Pledge. You know the one where you pledge to buy only handmade and ask for others to do the same for you? Yeah, that's the one. Well, I already technically busted the pledge about 30 seconds into it.

My mother and I were at Target *gasp* in the dollar section *GASP* and saw that they had their play food again. I mean come on! I bought them some food, aprons, chef hats and potholders for $12 before I even remembered the pledge. I curse the dollar section! So my mom took all the play food and will give it from her since she took no such pledge and can buy all the cheap forgien made toys she wants. I kept the aprons and hats because I am embroideing their intials and other cuteness to them. And I will call them handmade and not even feel guilty about it.

Here's how selective a reader I am. I completely missed the part "...and ask others to do the same for you." Damn. Guess I don't get a food processor this year.

Me thinks if Target were in Canada, it would be my downfall.
