Eden is a wonderful baby. Truly she is. For about the last six weeks she goes to bed at 8 pm and sleeps through til 5:30 am, eats, and then goes back to sleep until 9 am. Do you know what that means? It means that for three whole hours in the morning I get to do WHATEVER I want (plus whatever housework intrudes on my solitude). It's glorious. SO what have I been doing with my glut of time? Crafting, of course! To be precise, I have made 9 Christmas gifts by hand over the course of about 30 working hours. And I'm dying to post them; but that's problematic for obvious reasons. Instead, I'll merely show you this:
My handcrafted wrapping job. You'll just have to wonder what's inside. (As a side note, I am wrapping EVERYTHING this year. My mom was and is the anti-wrapping nazi...and I quote, "I refuse the fill the landfills with unnecessary paper garbage." In principle I agree, but there is still a pretty-packages-deprived child inside of me and this year I'm cutting her loose. Sorry, mom.)
Oh, and I've also been doing some baking...
Anyway, it's been a lot of fun. I love getting creative. And it is amazing what Santa can accomplish if she takes advantage of one very "helpful" elf's sleep habits.
