(Self-promo) I've made a bunch of things, mostly from repurposed and rescued materials and have had them for offer at a couple of craft fairs this fall, just in case you had any Scrabble tile or toy dinosaur bag charm or necktie-keychain needs I can help with. :) www.facebook.com/practicute

Beautiful crumb!

Don't sleep on nearby suburbs, either. My Mom and I took a tap class this spring with Bloomington's Community Ed. because I wasn't old enough for the one in St. Paul.

I learned last week that sugar cubes can be made on parchment paper in a loaf pan, in case you take a lump or wanted to have some around.

Feels awkward but try smooshing the camera lens right against the window glass.

ArtScraps in Saint Paul has all sorts of interesting materials that could be used as wrapping paper, and the prices are super low.
