My level of excitement is indirectly proportional to my actual production. I should have gotten started earlier. These are hard work! I have been pulling them off my Christmas tree to send to Etsy ladies too. It's a happy feeling knowing that something you thought of, designed, and created is appreciated by other people. I felt especially happy sending a set to Honolulu. What a pretty place far, far away. And now a part of me is there.

My neice loves them too. Her reaction to Spicy Tuna Maki was "Mimi! You have a paw print ornament! Hahahhahahahahha. You're so funny. You know? When the dog goes outside and gets in the mud and just makes a mess..." Why yes, dear, that is exactly what I was going for.
Homegirl can spot a Barbie doll from a mile away. Wrapped in paper. Hidden under some stuff. Waaaaay back behind the Christmas tree.
We decorated some Christmas cookies. I made this Avatar Gingerbread Man Sugar Cookie..

And I dug this out. I've had it forever. That little mouse has a spaghetti stain on his face from, like, 1992 probably. And yes, I am moving him every morning.
