This is the first time he's been babysat by someone we have to pay since last year's Christmas party. You'll never believe where we met the babysitter. She was our waitress at

Wow! A formal event - how fun! Don't forget to take pictures! Are you getting each other corsages? Cuz you should.

ha ha ha. no, we can barely afford the babysitter. (they don't take credit cards you know.) we will do what we can about the pictures though.

:( Not even paypal? Lame!

I guess you could make some out of junk mail, you know, in your free time.

OK, all together now; one, two, three! I WANT MORE FREE TIME!

at first i was really confused. make some money? some credit cards? some paypal? (it would be AWESOME, btw, if the babysitter took paypal. it didn't occur to me to ask her) but then i finally decided you were talking about the corsages. make flowers out of junk mail? that's a lot craftier than I am capable of becoming, regardless of my quantity of spare time.

Sorry, I'm not being very clear! Yes, make corsages out of junk mail. Here's some inspiration just for fun: http://www.instructables.com/id/Paper-Corsage/

oh my! i had no idea. trust me, anything crafty that i touch quickly turns into a third grader's nightmare. i could NEVER make that. it is quite beautiful though.
