wrapping and baking


i got a little bit creative tonight! first i needed to wrap a present but i had nothing in the house what so ever, which is very unlike me. so i had no choice but to improvise. i spotted last weekend's newspaper and decided to take the cartoon section out and use this! then i tied the package up with some twine that the girls at work saved for me off something the other day. the gift looked gorgeous, even more so after i slipped the cards pink envelope under the twine. it matched in perfectly with the bright colours of the cartoons. all up, it probably took me two minutes! who needs expensive wrapping paper with ideas like this? not long after, i was onto my next task. i promised to do some baking for a fundraiser tomorrow at work so i made two trays of shortbread, all in the shape of an aeroplane! i bought the cookie cutter from a montville gift shop the other weekend when i was there with beth. admittedly, once they were done they resembled very big jet planes but they still tasted lovely which is what matters most in my books!
