See, this is what happens when you mess around

Detail from one of our homemade holiday cards. Limited editions, anyone want to buy a set?

Yes, rachel, I got your present. Squee!

Shrinky dinks for the win, and the return of the thingaday! They work very well in my toaster oven. I am particularly pleased with face on the bacon with the eggs and toast, sadly too small for the camera to capture. Political Opus for my raucus caucus sweetie. Can you believe he never shrunky dunk?

I've heard of Tipsy Cakes...

... but Surly Cake is a new one on me.

It makes me very, very happy, though. Surly Cake is adapted from this pattern. I'm very tempted now to go to various restaurants with Surly Cake and snap pictures of him with their dessert plates. Because I'm just that way.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. P.S. Rach, how do you bake a card? :)
