The addiction of cute

BRAG ALERT!

Bet you didn't know this...Crystal is a quilter, too. She'll tell you she's not that experienced, or tell you something she thinks is a flaw in her work, but I think she's brilliant! She made my little angel a quilt and my family will treasure it forever! She also made one for a close friend of ours and her little boy. When I asked her why quilting, she said "because fabric is like paper, and I want it all!"

I just had to share this with our creative pals! (not too mention it's today's theme in the parade!)

TP rolls!  

We have received a lot of feedback in the last couple days about what in the world we planned to create with those toliet paper rolls.  So what do you do with all those left over  rolls?! You make a mini-books out of them!  We had a lot of fun creating this mini-book.

It's the perfect size to give as a gift and your friends will never guess how you made it! (you will want to tell them though, since it is so cool!) Crystal made this book to show off some of her favorite sailing memories of 2009.
