She’s crafty

I don’t have much energy to read in my spare time anymore. (Shhh! Don’t tell any of my fellow law school students that I actually have spare time. They’ll think I’m lying.) On the other hand, this deficiency has stimulated my crafty side. This weekend, I created a special coupon book for my mom, who was celebrating the 40th anniversary of her 18th birthday. Whoa!

The book included all sorts of goodies like a loaf of homemade bread, backrubs, afternoon tea, gardening help, and a snowshoeing adventure, among other things. She seemed more excited about the coupon book than she did about the gift certificate for a manicure. Perhaps this was because the homemade box that the manicure certificate came in was cooler-looking than the certificate itself.

A template for the box is available courtesy of Mirkwood Designs if you’d like to make one to wrap small Christmas gifts in this year.
