Sleeping In


I had unexpected time this morning (sleeping in!!) since I usually leave around 7am to babysit.  However, I wasn't needed until 2, so I got to sleep in.  My ankle is still wonky, more so since I went to the CJ Club self-defense class Wed. night.  (on the plus side, dumping my prof on her tail was the funniest thing I've done in a while).  Ergo, I'm waiting until at least Saturday to run on it.  So what do do with my extra time?  Wrap presents! 




I'm not posting pictures of actual present projects yet, but the present wrapped in dictionary and magazine pages is for mom.  The bow is also made out of magazine pages via this tutorial.  


The little one is a stocking stuffer for my grandmother.  That gift actually isn't homemade, and since I have no fear of my grandmother reading this, it's apple tea.  I found it at the Apple Barn in the Smoky mountains.  Anyway.  The bag is the wrapping paper (yay college budget!)  and the ribbon we found for a dollar.  Michael's is our current obsession, being the nearest craft store.  I made the bow out of the bag also, by knotting two pieces together and twisting them around the knot.  Mod Podge to the back!  And...the label is a paint chip.


For breakfast, I had melty chocolate no-bake cookies.  

Yeah no I'm lying, I would never be that unhealthy for breakfast (or would I?), but it was chocolate, and it did taste pretty daggone good.  It's based on a 5-minute Chocolate Oatmeal recipe, but I had no milk, so I just used water.  I also added peanut butter, since that makes everything better.
