another angel
We had two newbies flake on us last swap so while Chris created a package for Susan, I created one for Micki. I know she got it so I thought I'd share what I made.
I picked several things from her list....
The main item was this cute apron. I had a hard time parting with it. She listed that she adores aprons and sugar skulls...pretty good combo if I do say so myself.
The rest of the goodies..."spa treats and feets" and time travel reading and a "tardis." I had to look that up y'all! I couldn't make her a real one so Kaela drew her one and I turned it into a bookmark.
Also a geekie bumper sticker and cheese ball spreader......
I am thrilled she liked it!

Zombies on My Mind
It turns out that this week is the 10th anniversary of the release of Shaun of the Dead. It you haven't seen it, read no further; go immediately and watch it now. If you have seen it, you know even ten years later it's a great movie. It's one of my favorites! I love funny zombie movies that aren't super scary. Here's my list of favorite zombie movies.
- Shaun of the Dead
- Zombieland
- Warm Bodies
- Cockneys vs. Zombies
- I am Legend ( I consider this a zombie movie - it is a little scary.)
As you can see I've had zombies on my mind the last few days. I've been anxious to create a new zombie, and couldn't wait for the swap. I sat down last night with no specific zombie plan in mind, I just built as I went along. In the end, I created this sweater zombie to tide me over until the swap begins. I may have to watch a few zombie movies to really get in the spirit. I'm looking forward to zombies in the nursery. I hope you are too!
