A thing of the past?

I think not! For those of us that rocked the 90's, mix tapes were an awesome, very personal gift! There were often many meanings behind the songs, because we were a deeper people back then. (Flashback to the Cranberries and Mazzy Star). Mix tapes could range from Love Mixes, to Music-You-Should-Be-Listening-To, I think I even gave an "I HATE YOU!!!" mix tape.

Well, if you are in a creative mood this Christmas, how awesome would this gift be for a music lover?

It is a USB drive that you fill with songs that you want to share, then personalize the case. Super sweet.

DIY Bag Stuffing

So, I was tired of the run of the mill "Tissue Paper Stuffing" for gifts, and it just so happens that I will be meeting my cousin's wife and baby for the first time this Saturday. So what do we do? My darling sister and I run to the Target for a gift, what does the gift need? Some sort of tissue paper stuffing! I'll get my hot glue gun!

Here are the gifts, and DIY tools... Did I mention she is a girl??? AWESOME

Here is the first tee pee of tulle.

A flower in the making. Sorry Taylor Swift... you have hot glue all over your face.

Well, I burnt the crap out of my thumb so I moved to the tissue flowers, so, this will be a tissue/tulle stuffed bag!

Is it a little much? Maybe. Is it awesome? YES!

I'll be seein' you soon!

Patina, aka the coolest store ever, only is graced by my presence once every year. Okay, that would be true if I were cooler than Patina, and in reality. I don't think ANYONE is cooler than Patina. They have all sorts of amazing nicknacks that EVERYONE needs at least one of. And if you are thinking "I wonder if this is a good store for Christmas shopping?" the answer is YES! It's THE BEST store for Christmas shopping. You are sure to find something perfectly unique there. I will post later, my findings of a most brilliant kind!
Here are some of the things I am hoping to find there...

And MUCH MUCH more!!!
