Ah!

As I predicted this got lost in the shuffle of my life. However, I have been doing some things that I am excited about. I began taking classes again -after taking a nearly four year hiatus after graduating from high school. So, I am officially a college student again. It is very stressful but each day I'm kind of blown away at my capabilities. (not to toot my own horn)
Anyway, a friend's birthday tomorrow and after being disappointed with card choices (and prices) I decided to make my own.

Nothing fancy but I love it. Along with that I'm giving her two books and a little broach that looks like an old fashioned telephone.

I wrapped them in tissue paper and cut strips of some scrap satin for the ribbon.

I'm so excited to give it to her! I think gift giving really brings out the best in me as far as creativity and motivation. There is not a single detail that isn't thought out and I have so much fun doing all the little projects I give myself.
Anyway, another friend just had a baby and after deserting the baby blanket I started knitting for her I had to come up with something. So, I made a little teddy bear for her. I never really got to get a good picture of it so I apologize.

Thats about all!
