i thought it would be so fun to take in a basket of goodies for the office staff at connor's school. sure it would be fun….IF i was martha stewart. instead of felt fortune cookies with hershey kisses and witty fake fortunes stuffed inside of them to make the teachers' day, i ended up with a yard of felt i'll never find a good use for, extra ribbon and floral wire to take up space in my craft box, and enough glue on my dining table to make it look like a topographical map of the andes.
i could tell it was killing nathan to have the "off limit" sign placed on the kisses. after i resigned myself to my pinterest failure, i let the boys have the chocolate. as much as i love looking at the crafty ideas i find on pinterest, i have to remind myself that people literally spend hours crafting and then photographing these ideas. i don't want to spend that kind of time on crafts. there are plenty of things on my level…. which is lower than beginner, mind you.
i think i'll just take in doughnuts. :)

I was really hoping for a picture there! I picked out several crafts for Christmas..reality set in when it says...use sewing machine..which I do not own! I have enjoyed making some of the fun food ideas though. Happy looking anyway.
I've had my share of pinterest fails lately too! Mostly in the baking department. Like the *hearty* pumpkin bread I tried tonight that was gritty enough to remove plaque. Good thing my family will pretty much eat anything that comes freshly baked from the oven!
That is a good reminder about those professional types out there who craft and photograph so beautifully. My projects NEVER turns out like theirs!
And I bet those teachers will enjoy donuts way more than felt fortune cookies! :)
So SO funny!!! You might not consider yourself crafty, but you definitely have a way with words!!!
