Gift it good.

And thus concludes our fun little series:

I hope you've been inspired.  I hope you've been pinning like mad.  I hope you haven't gotten sick and tired of homemade gifts already, gosh dang it.

I also hope you realize that now's the time to start those Christmas presents.  Take it from the girl who first created this:

Start your presents now, people.  Now.  You don't want to be that crazy lady up until 3 am on Christmas Eve trying to put the finishing touches on just ONE MORE gift when you've already busted your way through 20 in the last day and a half - which resulted in glue gun burns you don't even want to know where, tape attached in awkward areas that can't be reached and more thread in your hair than hair - and still have to wrap them all (garbage bags and duct tape it is!) as you insanely rock back and forth after your 16th cup of hot cocoa, sarcastically mutter-singing "we WISH you a merry Christmas..." under your breath so as not to wake the peacefully and unwittingly sleeping HUSBAND and children above. Not that I have any kind of personal experience with this or anything...

And now that I've already made a long story longer, let's cut to the chase.  
Firstly, and foremost, I would like to thank the insane amount of people who helped with this month's festivities.  You are gifting rock stars with amazing blogs to boot.  Thanks!  (Now, go check them out in their natural habitat, will you?)
Second, and also foremost, I think I deserve a small break, don't you?  This series stuff is hard work.  Do you know how long a round up takes to put together??  Man.  I love doing them.  But they can be a pain in the butt.  Anyway, postings will be sparse for a teensy bit.
Finally, here's a summation of all the amazingness you've seen here this month.  It's a long summary.  So maybe it's a longary.  In any case, you'll find everything here.  With links.  I try to be helpful like that.

"When a problem comes along
You must gift it. 
Before the cream sets out too long
You must gift it.
When something's goin' wrong
You must gift it.
So gift it.  Gift it good."

*PLEASE refer to my introductory post to this series on the subject of DEVO and these beloved lyrics.  It really does apply.  I promise.  Also, please note that bolded items have been altered from the original lyrics.

Bam.  How's THAT for a finale?
