We had the most incredible holiday. I’ve got a whole pile of crafty tales to regale you with. I’m getting there. I just spent two weeks editing the photos!

I had to share that one with you. We saw it in the gift shop and I had to have it. There was about four of them, all different styles. And it was pretty obvious they’d been there for a while. Don’t think it was one of their more popular items. But WAY COOLER than a stubbie cooler eh?
