    Reworking & gifting...

    the popcorn.

    I think this looks cuter. Don't eat the popcorn though...the last thing you want is a mouth full of Tarzan's Grip.

    And now for the gifting part...

    I fashioned this gift from tin cans I'd saved but it would work just as well using a milk carton (in fact, now I think of it that would probably work even better...darn it). Then I embroidered the popcorn piece & the red stripe once. Next, I scanned & mucked around with it in publisher until I was happy with the placement.

    Anyway...if you'd like to make a cute gift box for a movie ticket & popcorn gift then head over & pick up the jpegs sized & ready to print:

    surround
    & lid (if you don't want to go with the real popcorn like I did).

    Then adhere to your chosen recycled container.

    ...I had to have a go with the milk carton - I'm happy.

    Absolutely basic "present wrapping" construction - no words required...

  • Remnants...

    Remnants...

    of a lovely weekend.

    Jam packed full of circling...

    for me:
    limes, sugar rimmed drink glasses, tin cans, cardboard discs, fabrics, steering wheels,

    for them:
    around the high bar, around the football ground, on the whizzy dizz, around the block, around the park.

    It's been nice. Hope your weekend has been lovely too.
