paper pie gift boxes (for Pi Day!)

Earlier this week, my mom sent me a very important email informing me that next Wednesday, March 14, is Pi Day. (Because the date is 3/14, you see.) She knows how I like to be kept aware of important holidays. Since my math education culminated in me failing goecalculebra or whatever we were supposed be […]

paper wine charms

Since moving to our new noticeably-larger-than-a-shoebox apartment last summer, my boyfriend and I have begun doing rather more entertaining.

First and foremost is my total lack of time, as I desperately try to get ready for Christmas and do a hundred other things. This past week I’ve been working on a very neat commission project, and completing […]

paper poppies

So now that Halloween is over, it’s time to get out the Christmas decorations, right? WRONG! But without any other big holidays between now and December 25, people apparently get antsy and just can’t help digging out the tinsel. Still, before you start jingling the bells, let’s pause and remember that there is one official holiday […]
