Since I moved to Chicago, I made a few crafty promises. One: I will make all of my Christmas presents this year. Two: I will take pictures of all of my crafty endeavors and put them up on the web. But these two promises present a bit of a problem. Should I really put my future Christmas presents up on the web?
As it turns out, a lot of the crafting I've done so far has been for my grandmother, and well, she's not much of a blogger as of now, so I think it's safe. Here are some pictures of how I spent my summer vacation.

My grandmother's getting 30 hand-made cards for her 91st birthday on December 6th! Whee!
