The Spring edition of our Pleasingly Perfecto Personal Presents was supposed to be sent at the beginning of April – in time for Easter. This time our theme was “The Living Room.”

Well, we both got a little behind. Although we did pretty well at actually purchasing our gifts, there was much time spent trying to find boxes the right size, and then actually putting the darn things in the mail. And vacation trips and business trips and broken collarbones and house painting and school events. We changed the name of the swap this month to “We Suck at Pleasingly Perfecto Personal Presents.”

Madalyn did a little better than me, and managed to get her gift in the mail first. I finally did, and Madalyn was the first to post about her gift.

I forced myself to finally take photos, so you all can see!

A cute square picture frame (with no photo in it yet – I mean, come on, you can’t expect me to put something in it right away when it took me 2 months longer than it should to get Madalyn’s gift in the mail?), and a set of photo coasters (also not even taken the shrink wrap off yet – what’s the point if I don’t have photos picked out to put in them yet?).

Thanks, Madalyn!!!

Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I’d show you my to-do list, but you’d run away screaming.

It’s Turkey Day!

by Natalie November 20, 2009 Cooking

You’re thinking I’m almost a whole week off, right? Nope. It’s “Get your Turkey out of the freezer day!” Put it in the refrigerator on a tray of some sort (sometimes there might be a small hole in the bag and it will leak all over your fridge!). I use a cookie sheet lined with [...]
