It takes many, many shapes - including a soccer goal, basketball goal, play tent, and jungle gym/walker.

Tutorial: Paper Fortune Cookies

Categorized Under: Crafty No Commented

This was a baby shower I threw for a great friend recently.  Do you see the “jar” on the table by the flowers?  It has little paper fortune cookies in it.  –Those were the “favors.”  I used heavy papers that coordinated nicely with the baby’s room decor and on a slip of paper inside each [...]
