I love it when I’m given things that are homemade. I don’t care what they are. Baked goods (especially cupcakes) or random craft bits or cards. Anything, really. It makes me feel super special and important to know that someone spent a lot of time to make something just for me.

As a belated birthday gift, Nikita made me a cupcake mini-scrapbook.

She put together each page with paper, stickers, and other embellishments she had bought.

and the outcome was this precious scrapbook!

I love how the heart on this one has little “Tottenkophs” on them
See? Told you. Mini-avatars!

I had to laugh at this. We don’t know why we find Kristin Wigg in the Gilly skit (SNL) so funny. But we do. <3

and the back cover was just  too way cute! Yes, I know thinking two girls in front of a pile of skulls as cute may be a teensy bit disturbing…
But it’s us! She *has* to be the one on the right and I’m on the left (you can tell by the skull bow)

Anyways. I just had to share this with you all because I was so happy to get it and thought it was hella cute.

So. I promised a craft post last week and I had it all planned out. I really did! I took pictures of them, enhanced different parts, and even started on the write up. But then I realized something:

The crafts I’ve been working on are birthday presents. The crafts I’ve been working on are birthday presents for people who haven’t gotten them yet because it’s not their birthdays.

…D’oh.

As soon as I mail out these gifts and get confirmation that they got their gifts, I’ll write a post about them. That’s three new posts that are pending.
