ScottsGT Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Every year for the past 10 years or so my youngest daughter has presented me with a Christmas gag gift. One year, a gold fish. Last year a cheap add on bidet. The list goes on… Earlier this year I was installing insulation panels in my garage door. One bottom panel wouldn’t go in place so I stuck my fingers down into the framework and pulled out a petrified Toad. Instantly had a brilliant idea. You see, my gag gift daughter is deadly afraid of frogs and toads. Even at 23 yo. So today I made her a Christmas ornament for her tree. Petrified toad After crafting out a cute little Santa hat, carved a styrofoam ball and applied some fake snow. closed up 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just me, I've just felt that way....perhaps because the Kenneth Grahame stories. Only Tamiya kits....versus motorcars...and gypsy wagons...just me. P.s. where can I get one of those add-on bidets?.....just asking! 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 I’m going to video her opening it. If it’s a good one I’ll post it to YouTube and link it here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Ok, just so everyone doesn’t think I’m the Scrooge Ernie makes me out to be… I also made this for her. She got married last year in an outdoor wedding. The next morning after the wedding I went back by the venue to pick up something we left the night before. The place was completely surrounded by river rocks. I got a wild idea at that moment and picked out a nice big one. I pulled out some wedding photos and airbrushed her background for the wedding on the rock. I’m going to put all the info on the back. Date, location, etc. I’m the good looking guy on the left. Other guy is the intruder, and the wife. Daughter should be obvious since she’s the one in the “one and done” dress. Of course it rained on the day of her outdoor wedding, and we got the nuptials in between showers. But you cannot see the mountains in the background. Maybe the rock will give her the “Mandela effect” and she’ll remember the mountains one day. December wedding, so that’s why there are Christmas trees behind us. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Oh, almost forgot…. She came home to visit during the summer and went rummaging through our bill drawer where I kept this rock. “Dad? Are you losing your mind? You have this random rock in the drawer with the bills.” Yea honey, it’s just a random rock. Now leave my damned rock alone! 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Shhh!!! Don’t let her ever hear you say that. It will go to her head. She already knows it. And so do I, as I sit here at my bench, retired. While she’s at work right now. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just now, Martinnfb said: I wish to have father in law like you Scott. Sorry, my daughters are married off already. And I don’t think my boys would go along with it either. But if you were, I wouldn’t have to worry about the stash going in the dumpster after I’m looking up at roots. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
