Gift Giving!

Hello all!

First off, I note how wonderful it was to have Cat back on this blog. For those of you who are unfamiliar with us, we met a couple years ago in our first drama class at UC Irvine. We bonded instantly and have been the best of friends ever since. I love having her on this blog and I look forward to many more postings by her (hint, hint).

Anyway, Thanksgiving is over and it's time to celebrate the gift giving season! Ok, we all know Christmas isn't about gifts (except to celebrate the ultimate gift of Jesus!) but it's a great time to show people around you how much you appreciate them.

I've been thinking for a few days now about what gifts to get the wonderful people who are supporting and working for my acting career (agents, manager and acting coaches). Much like getting gifts for a co-worker, it's hard to think of something appropriate for everyone, cost effective and not cheesy. I think I've finally thought up something and I'm excited to make it (yep, some DIY time).

I was completely inspired by this blog post http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/11/thanks-glassing/ and I LOVE the way the etched apothecary jar looks. So now I'm planning on buying a bunch of apothecary jars, etching each recipient's name on there, filling them up with salt water taffy (I mean, who doesn't love salt water taffy? Plus it's hard to find unless you live right by the beach) and finishing them off with a pretty ribbon.

I can't wait to see how they turn out! I'll try to post pictures once I'm finished (unless they turn out horribly).

Wish me luck!
