At the staff Christmas party we were charged with bringing a “white elephant” gift for a fun game we played, Left Right Left. You know those British propaganda pieces handed out during WWII, “Keep Calm and Carry On,” whilst bombs were whizzing around their heads? Well, I love the parody, and clearly the American equivalent: “Freak Out and Lose Control”

The White Elephant gift I made
Inspiration found on Pinterest

 

A gift to myself.

I liked the gift I made so much that I purchased a frame from Hobby Lobby and made one for my desk at work.

On a side note, I think Pinterest might just pull the craft industry out of the depths of its own depression which I’m really excited about. While I’m not in the industry anymore, I would love to see the energy and excitement that was enjoyed in years’ past. Pinterest makes crafting cool again!
