Customer Comments

So today I had to deal with an icky customer situation. The customer was in the wrong, but I had to make it right. Made me sad, made me mad. Then we found out we had taken counterfeit money. And it is Monday. And I spilled coffee on my shoes.

So I went here to cheer up.

Works every time! Thanks to all who love us, we really do try hard to be good.

Thrifty-Swifty Gifties 3


This week's gift idea is from Cut-Out-And-Keep, a great project-sharing web site that I love.

The idea is to use wire plant baskets as forms for a paper lantern. This one is made with craft paper (think brown paper shopping bags!) You could also use Decopatch paper or a fancy paper like this Midori Green Lace Paper. I would finish my project with a nice coat of Aquapro varnish to make it more durable and keep the colors bright.
