Gettin' crafty

I couldn't decide what to get my mom for Christmas, so I decided to make something. For not being a particularly crafty person (in the literal sense, at least), I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Now let's see how it travels to OK.

For anyone who may be interested, I got the idea from this site. There are lots of other fun uses for these easy rolled flowers as well. For the record, after traveling all over Goldsboro looking for fabric squares, I ended up buying an eighth of a yard of four kinds of fabric from a quilting shop, and I have plenty left over.

Almost a white Christmas

Irony is...

driving 12 minutes out of the way to the Wal-Mart outside of town to avoid crazy crowds only to discover that they closed their doors 2 minutes before I pulled into the parking lot. Well, at least I managed to avoid the crowds.

Please send help immediately

3 days of baking + 10 recipes(2 w/melted chocolate) + 2 packages sent - 0 dishes washed other than what needed to be reused for new recipes = 1 disasterous kitchen

But getting my 2 packages mailed off 5 minutes before the post office closed for Christmas was worth it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
