I hope you aren't too terribly offended. If you are then I guess it's time to toughen up a bit, but my apologies all the same.

But who knows. I find it oddly hilarious that so many of these comments have centered around waxed paper. I mean, really? Have our lives now come to that? But that being said, keep me posted if you find another brand. ;-DMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306810666140935903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116724020549974744.post-18574402911278485362010-12-23T08:13:06.836-06:002010-12-23T08:13:06.836-06:00too funny elizabeth. while at dillons yesterday, i...too funny elizabeth. while at dillons yesterday, i got some cut-rite and realized that it was reynolds. now i'm on a quest to find non-reynolds waxed paper. <br /><br />and i had the exact line of thought as you about the reject pb crackers, all the way down to living out my days in leisure as the supplier of hideous, but delish concrete mix-ins. but i don't think my one at a time dipping would be very efficient or conducive to a life of leisure : (maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627680593366631585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116724020549974744.post-79014692970576944582010-12-23T00:46:10.200-06:002010-12-23T00:46:10.200-06:00So apparently Cut-rite IS the Reynolds brand of wa...So apparently Cut-rite IS the Reynolds brand of wax paper, but I'm still convinced that I've bought store brand was paper before.

But I wasn't expecting something so detailed with multiple photos! 4 different projects and 1 humorous antidote-this could have been 5 different postings and you would have already made it to 50! But combining them was totally worth it just to use the title Holiday Breakings and Makings. So clever, you. Very enjoyable, as always. The framed picture is the best and I liked the story about who you gave it to. Are you getting as super excited for Christmas Eve as I am? Eggrolls...Keep up the good blogging work. <br /><br />Elizabeth, I really enjoyed your comment as well and think you actually might have a jackpot idea with the new concrete flavor.j 29:11-13https://www.blogger.com/profile/11028683932751355575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116724020549974744.post-81070731361467398432010-12-22T08:41:23.103-06:002010-12-22T08:41:23.103-06:00I am thoroughly impressed with all the crafty proj...I am thoroughly impressed with all the crafty projects you've been cranking out! The onesie is adorable! And the scarves look very sharp - great work! I second Michelle's comment on the super cute pic of you. I need to take a page from your book and give a "face lift" to things more often than just replacing them. That's very sweet (and brave - paint? really?) of you to have Ben work on the picture frame for the lady at adoration, and even more impressive that you take your little men with you to visit Jesus. I am in awe.<br /><br />For the tree, you're more than welcome to borrow our accordion gate to put around the tree if the boys don't start to keep their paws to themselves. We aren't using it this year. Just let me know.<br /><br />As far as wax paper goes, yes, it is a necessity for the pb crackers, but I've gotten it in the store brand, just not at Aldi (although I couldn't tell you what store b/c right now I have the Cut-rite brand), so off-brands do make it. You could put the broken pieces in a zipper bag, wrap it in a towel and take your frustrations out on it with a rolling pin (or hammer, I won't tell), store it in the freezer and use it as a mix in for all that tasty custard your wonderful husband brings home :) It could last you until summer! Or Tim could make a custom concrete with it and pitch the idea to Freddy and get paid big bucks for it and you could live out your days in leisure as you become the supplier for the dipped and crushed pb crackers.<br /><br />OK, I'll be quiet now. Can you tell I got a relatively good night's sleep last night, despite waking up at least 7 times to go to the bathroom? Right. The quiet will commence... now!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699572769019233908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116724020549974744.post-14908311971882659582010-12-22T08:14:46.574-06:002010-12-22T08:14:46.574-06:00I know, I seriously don't have the patience to...I know, I seriously don't have the patience to take my children to adoration. It's impressive. <br /><br />I, too, like the picture frames.
