My dear friends,

Somewhat embarrassing to admit, I'm not getting an annual bonus and Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree
that it's a splendid idea, and should you wish to do the same, I've
included the instructions below.

How to make bedroom slippers out of maxi pads:

You need four maxi pads to make a pair.
Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part.
The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top.
Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part.

Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most
aesthetically appealing), etc.

These slippers are:
* Soft and Hygienic
* Non-slip grip strips on the so le* Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
* No more bending over to mop up spills
* Disposable and biodegradable
* Environmentally safe
* Three convenient sizes: (1.) Regular, (2.) Light and (3.) Get out the Sand Bags.

I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the
nifty slippers for yourself....

Awaiting your response. It's crucial that I get the right size for each
one of you.

    Ezzie ~all :laugh: :wink: :tongue: s aside ~ there ARE actually some all too-creative folks like my husband that probably WOULD do something like that and by-cracky, make it not only work but work wonderfully :smile: :guess I need to stop my long-held habit of passing "that certain section" in Walmart and mentally going "neenerneenerneener ~ I is freee!!! I stand with the strange ones who do NOT miss 'that part of life' and wouldn't want it back, no matter what :wink: :

    I like the part about cleaning up spills without getting out the mop!!

    My middle son was about 2 years old when he came out with his 'maxi' helmet. he had them stuck all over his head and said it would protect him from the evil man and he karate chopped the air! wish I had a picture!

    OH...and may I order a size light please? thanks
