  1. you’re precious! i want to make this.

  2. If you keep posting this cute stuff, I am going to show up on your doorstep (I don’t live that far away, and I teach practically halfway to you!) and DEMAND that we make cute stuff all weekend long. Because a) I am not as crafty as you and b) We need to just become BFF’s already. In real life.
