Make Your Own Christmas Trees - 1966 - KAP Kraft Books

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

If you are as old as I am you might remember these sorts of little craft books packed with projects. There are lots of charming vintage ideas here for you (the Tin Can Tree) or to make with the kids (frosting an upside down ice cream cone). Have fun, more to come!

movie night

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

i've been on a romance movie binge lately for some reason. maybe it's the chill in the air that gets me in the hopeless romantic mood, or maybe i just need a reminder every now and then that it's ok to not be so damn cynical.

or. i just like looking at ryan gosling and his company of brooding leading men.
