“I respect wood. I revere wood. I’m considerate of wood.” (Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm)
While I was looking forward to being out of work for four days for Thanksgiving break, I had to scramble to find the perfect gift for my friend. My bff turned 31 last week. Thankfully, her before me. It’s okay that we’re getting old though, because it just gives us more excuses to drink our life away. Or at least our birthdays away. So in spirit, I had to send her a margarita basket (you can view her box here), since she likes margaritas more than she likes me. She’d argue that, but I doubt she’s going to read this anyway. Hence why I’m blogging about part of her gift before she even opens it.
After putting the basket together, I found these adorable coasters on Pinterest. I had to make them. Instead of giving you the directions, I’ll just recommend you visit the site above. She gives much better instructions than I would anyway (and printable sized pieces).
They turned out perfectly unperfect for me. I hand sewed each one, and I loved the end result. I hope she does too. I don’t know that they’ll compare with the bottle of Patron or the Skinny Girl individual servings, but they might come in third place. Third place still gets a trophy. Third place is perfect for me.
