Stop and Smell the Flowers.... Even if they are paper

 
Okay, sorry i could not resist the urge to put a picture illustrating my title.
I mean, its a PUPPY. How can you resist a puppy?
 
 
Yes, at our last meeting we had the privilege of making our own bouquet of paper roses!
 
 
Are thees just gorgeous or what?
 
     The stage is set...
                                                     

And we begin! It included lots of folding, but it was very fun! It was also surprisingly simple...


With some curling of the paper...


And some glue, they came out wonderfully!



 
 

And always remember to stop and smell the flowers!
 

 
                                                   


Merry Late Christmas!

Well first off i must apologize for doing a horrible job as Historian, as it has been forever since I've made a post. Given its February and I'm posting our Christmas Party... well... That's not very good.


I must say though that was such a fun Party! It was my first White Elephant and it was very exiting.

<---I think we all know that we're not talking about this kind of White elephant, but i will give a brief explanation.
Everyone brings a odd, obscure, or strange gift of some sort, wraps it, and all of them are handed out via the normal Gift Exchange way.

   


Its quite fun, and we all end up with crazy stuff!





But first we created our own handmade wrapping paper!
 
Everyone had huge pieces of butcher paper and sponge stamps that the Dahls graciously cut out for us. It was very fun and everyone came out with some unique and beautiful pieces.
 
 
 
 
Than the crazy part came!
 

 
Stephanie received, a...... er...... interesting clown statue. I ended up stealing him, and his name is now Leopold and he plays the Saxophone. But come now isn't he just wonderful?
 
Brianna got some very hip and beautiful glasses, equipped with stylish eyebrows and nose.
Gorgeous Brianna, Gorgeous
 
Some snacks,
 
 
And a giant paper snowflake!
 
And than came.... FOOD!!!
 
 

 Are these just the cutest cupcakes you've ever seen? Adorable!

And than came some modeling...

First.... Brianna, starring Leopold the Creepy Clown
 
 
 
And Ally, the cutest little girl ever. Isn't she just adorable?

 
 
 
 
 
And with that, our party ended.
Merry Christmas!
 
Actually i should say, Merry late Christmas in February!
Hey, use this as an excuse to have a second Christmas! ;-)
