Making something ridiculous and delightful, every day

Masking tape bow

I gotta confess, I can get too darn serious at this time of year if I'm not careful. Isn't it funny (not haha funny) that the holidays coincides with end-of-year medical insurance switcheroo?  So in addition to standing in line at the post office, and getting an Evite out to my family, I made a doctor's appointment and signed up for all flavors of lab work to be billed in 2011. Merry Mammogram! That's just not right.

So, in keeping with my standard coping strategies, I've made a plan. I'm going to make something ridiculous and delightful every day. I'm committed to doing this every day...for as long as it is fun.

Day One: I made a bow for a package out of masking tape. My son was headed to a white elephant gift exchange and we shared a good laugh while getting him out the door in record time. Yes, you know you're going to see this reemerge as a product idea. I wonder if I can have it out for next year?
