| This is what I started with. Well, really I started with tissue paper, pipe cleaners, etc... but that's boring to photograph |
 |
| With the help of my bible study girls, I got about 120 of these done! Fun to make, but not in large quantities |
 |
| the "baskets" |
 |
| crepe paper stuffing |
 |
| candy to go in the basket |
 |
| the invite going to our neighbors so we can hopefully get to know them in a couple of weeks |

| finished product |

| doesn't look like much, does it? can you believe it took me all day today to make these? |
I always manage to make little projects into huge projects. We will invite 36 neighbor families and we hope that 9-10 actually show up. We'll see! May 15th - you will come very quickly... hopefully the prep for that doesn't kill me.
Time to go take a great afternoon nap. I have to take these while I can! In six short weeks (or so) I'll be getting 2 hr naps in... and no good sleeps in...right? :)
OH BTW. Avatar was fine... but not amazing. It reminded me of every other "we're destroying the planet and dooming ourselves" movies. I'd probably watch it again, but wouldn't pay for it!
Any ideas for a good Mexican supper for tomorrow night? Can't be too hard because my sister will be making it without our supervision (she's not as bad in the kitchen as she thinks she is, I swear!) and she has a ton of schoolwork that needs to get done... 2 weeks left is what I hear for all my lovely students friends/family members.
Ok for real this time, I need me a nap!
good work on the baskets! i'd like a flower on my desk for when i get back to work (someday). cool. thanks!
ReplyDeletebut for real. looks fun. if i was a neighbor, i'd be there. i mean, i still might be there. now that i know the date ;)
Can't believe you made 120!! No wonder it was a big project. Love the nail polish, too! As for supper, marinate chicken breasts in your favorite hotsauce and grill.
