A Round Tuit

Did you ever have a gardening project, a UFO (in crafting terms), to do and kept putting it off with the excuse, I will get around to it one of these days.

Here are the directions for a craft to make your very own "round tuit", so you need never put off those UFO's off again!

 

I found this item while I was out at garage sales. It is a round piece of wood, about eight inches or 22 centimeters in diameter, which you can leave natural or varnish. The verse is written out in fancy script, the edges of the paper are cut round and scalloped and then glued onto the center of the wood. You can then put clear shellac over the whole thing. Add a hanger to the back and it makes a cute gift for anyone who procrastinates!! (Don't we all!) I do not know where this idea originated from, or who created the verse. If anyone has any more information about "round tuits" please email me. I would love to hear your stories. Enjoy!

 

 

   A Round Tuit  

At long last we have a sufficient quantity of these so that each person may have one of his own. Guard it with your life. These Tuits have been hard to come by. Especially the round ones. This is an indispensible item. It will help you become a much more efficient worker. For years you have been saying "I'll do that as soon as I get a round tuit." Now that you have a round tuit of your very own, all those things that have been needing to be accomplished will surely get done.

Here are some other verses for a round tuit:

 
This is a Tuit, and Tuits are rare,
Especially the round ones, so guard it with care.
How many times have you heard someone say 
( or said it yourself at least six times a day )
"one of these days I really will do it.... 
I'll do it as soon as I get around Tuit"
Well here's your round Tuit, And good luck to you
Now there's no limit to what you can do!

The faucet that leaks,
The hinge that squeaks.
The crack in the door,
The hole in the floor.
You said you'd do it,
Just as soon as you could get around to it.
Now the round tuit is here,
So my friend never fear,
You'll have all the time to do it,
Since from this day you can't get away with the excuse,
WHEN I GET A ROUND TUIT.

Just some thoughts:

Canada - land of cartoon currency. We have loonies and toonies!
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
If nothing sticks to teflon, how do they make teflon stick to the pan?
If airports are safe, why are the buildings called terminals?
A sweater - something the kids wear when mom is chilly!
Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
For people who like peace and quiet: a phoneless cord!
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it is unfamiliar territory.
It's not how much an item costs that matters, it's how much you save.
Tomorrow is a new day - with no mistakes in it yet.
Ballerinas are always on their toes. Why don't they just get taller ballerinas?
Baroque: what I am when I run out of money.
There cannot be a crisis today - my schedule is already full.            
Happiness is being married to your best friend.
Home is where you hang your @
The E-mail of the species is more deadly than the mail.
A journey of a thousand sites begins with a single click.
You can't teach a new mouse old clicks.
The modem is the message.
Too many clicks spoil the browse.
Don't byte off more than you can view.
Fax is stranger than fiction.
Did you notice that when you are late the boss is early, but when you are early the boss is late.
