Just in Case You Were Wondering...

Just in case any of you were desperately wondering what "marrieds without kids" do late on a Saturday night, the answer is revealed below:

That's right folks - Scott and I got our 'craft' on. I can't really take credit for the idea of the Turkey Cookie cuteness - we actually received some similiar-looking cookies from our home teachers this week and we decided it would be a fun idea as treats to give out to friends and co-workers. Usually Scott works on Saturday nights, but he was 'let go' from his job early this week because there was a shooting at the mall where his salon his located. Is it so wrong that I was just glad he was home early? Scott usually poo-poos his ability to do 'crafty' projects for one reason or another: "my hands are clumsy", "I'm not creative", "I don't have the patience". And while I don't consider myself to be 'in-to' crafts, I do like projects and trying to do something I never have. In an effort to appeal to this interest, Scott once took me to a paint-your-own-pottery store and we chose items and then designed and painted them. Scott's by-product of that evening has earned a special place in our home - one that Scott is convinced comes from a place of mockery. You be the judge of Scott's efforts:

Scott's spoon-holder with orange-tree motif. If we all give him props for his efforts, I may be able to wrangle him in to more craft-oriented projects. Tonight he got off to a self-proclaimed "rocky start":But soon he was able to master the subtle skills required of the Turkey Cookie:

And loving it.....
