"Zachary Z. Packrat...
September 24, 2009 // Media / Mom de Plume
...and His Amazing Collections" by my very talented friend Brooke Bessesen and illustrated by Jenny Campbell:

Cut Paper Bow
September 18, 2009 // Crafts / Cut Paper
Use your scrapbook paper scraps to make a pretty present bow:

1.Cut long strips (You can experiment with thin or fat strips or put both together!)
2. Curl with scissors the same way you would poly ribbon or curl by wrapping paper around a pencil
3. Tape together and arrange

Mindy created two art pieces for my two kids and I was amazed by the thoughtfulness that went into each of them.. They are truly two beautiful pieces of thoughtful and amazing art..
