Before and After

A number of Christmases ago, a cute snowman arrived at my house, filled with gourmet cookies.


After the cookies were gone, the snowman became part of our collection of Christmas decorations, along with the popsicle stick pictures frames, styrofoam bells, and ever-tangled string lights. It was a good coffee table piece. But like those other decorations, it was a little worse for wear after all those years in and out of storage.


So when it came time to decorate for a friend's bridal shower, I dug it out of the basement along with some leftover fabric and ribbon to make a centerpiece. It turned out to be the perfect size and shape, and saved me a trip to a craft store -- or perhaps multiple stores -- to find the exact materials I needed.
