Craft Machine Dreams

My nieces Swiper and Fancy are self-proclaimed "craft machines" and their mother LAP has already described. They have a new baby sister and have been stuck inside for almost this entire week due to snow and ice; plus, they were coughing and snotty for a good portion of the preceding week.

I've had baby's (waiting on LAP to help assign a blog handle) present for several weeks now. Along with the baby gift, I am sending a selection of crafting supplies for Swiper and Fancy with the hopes that these items will make some long afternoons at their house a bit shorter. For the record, I received LAP's permission before moving forward on this. I am not trying to pawn my stuff off on unwilling recipients. LAP knows she is free to "lose" anything she deems crap, though I tried hard to fill the box with good stuff. (I'd tell you what stuff, but I don't want to spoil the surprise). The box is ready for UPS tomorrow . . . and when Swiper and Fancy open it up and get down to crafting, I hope a beautiful convergence of "using" and "losing" follows.

We can hardly wait. We are getting more snow next week so new crafts and activities are welcome. Pita may have been overwelmed by the craft station when here yesterday. "How does bb feel about that setup?" she tactfully asked
