1. My Grandma Joe (Josephine Giffard/Robles) passed away this afternoon. She had a good run, and I am thankful for having her in my life and grateful that she passed on many creative talents to her children and grandchildren.
2. My friend Jay is turning 28 today so I got him a few things.
Here's a tip: For those of you in college that get tons and tons of paper that you keep from class, recycle the paper by using it as gift wrap!
I like to save the funnier/uncomfortable/unusual/really cool papers and pamphlets. You get a lot of those in women's studies and counseling.
So first of all, he has a dog which he is quite attached to.
Quite attached to.
Anyway, I decided to be an enabler and give him cute dog treats.
I would've baked some myself but this way my feelings won't be
hurt if the dog decides he doesn't like them.
I added a pipe cleaner bow and two pom poms as decorations
Next I wrapped his next gift (a zen sandtray thing) in a pamphlet on "Why AA works (sometimes)". Three different types of yarn as string with pom pom accents
And lastly I got him some buddhist beading kit (you can make yogi rosaries and bracelets and whatnot). I don't know if he's into MAKING things, but I bet if I made them for it he'd take them. I wrapped this one up in LGBTQ resource centers in the LA and Orange County Area. Pipe cleaner center bow, rhinestone and pom pom accents.
They don't look like works of art but they look fun!
If you have the time, have fun!
