A New Start

 Happy New Year!!
Chinese New Year starts and since my New Year didn't start off the way I thought this is my second chance to do it right.
The year of the Snake...
Well we will see how I strike.

I am thrilled with my pink and glitter gold fortune cookies.
They are too sweet for words.

Using the inspiration and pattern from the new Mollie Makes mag, these are super fun to do and I put my own spin on them.
Each one has a hidden pocket and a real fortune hidden inside.

This is my fortune for the day.

As my son napped yesterday in the car...yes I can't lift him yet and he fell asleep in the car.

I thought okay lets make do with what we have.

So I grabbed a snack, my craft basket and we took off to sit in an empty parking lot over looking the city.  Funny back home we would sit on Art Hill and it was so peaceful to look over St Louis and Forest Park

...here I see this :(

The afternoon passed by and I sat and cut all my pattern pieces while listening to the 1st Wave XM radio station.  Boy oh boy, I felt like it was 1987 all over again.

The boy slept so comfortably and I was lost in my own world.  I thought to myself, "does anyone have a camera on me, they must be wondering what the heck I was doing"

I will be making more and more of these little fortune cookies. I think they would be great for baby showers, bridal showers and birthday parties.  Heck, I think they would make just a sweet gift for anyone special in your life.

Here is to a new start....again ;)
