Congrats to Jimin H. of New York, who won this fun kit. I hope you have as much fun with it as we have! 🙂
Back when I was a little girl, I loved watching “Ray Rayner and His Friends.” He showed a lot of cartoons, had a floppy toy dog as a friend and fed lettuce to an ungrateful, cranky duck. But the segment I always enjoyed the most was when Rayner — who looked like actor Jerry Orbach — would break out the felt, glue and glitter and attempt to recreate a beautifully-made crafts project.
His version was always the poor man’s version: shoddily made and not much to look at. I always thought it was funny that a grownup could be so unskilled at arts and crafts.
Then I became that grownup. And this happened:
Alrighty then.
Granted, I had a 5-year-old helper who had his own design ideas. But, yeah, I take the blame for most of the clumsy execution. (If you want to recreate my gorgeous gingerbread house (ha ha!), I bought the Gingerbread Chalet Kit at Bed Bath & Beyond for $8, using their 20% off coupon).
So I plan on taking some more festive pictures, but I’m gonna get a little help this time around and use some pre-made stuff (that wasn’t made by me!).
Full disclosure: Hallmark saw a post I had made commemorating my son’s first day of kindergarten and sent me this adorable Pics ‘n’ Props Christmas Fun Kit ($24.95). The package includes 18 photo props spelling out Christmas greetings, prop sticks and a 4×6 photo album. My favorite prop is the red Naughty or Nice meter, which would add a fun element to office parties, too.
