My crafty sister-in-law

My sister-in-law, Chessa, is one of the craftiest people I know.














When I'm crashed in front of the The Amazing Race or taking a Sunday afternoon nap, she's working up a new dress for my nieces, or painting her guest bathroom, or planning a totally original birthday party for my nephew.


















Buy a decorated cake?? never.
Hallmark cards? Always handmade.
Giftcards? Bite your tongue. Chessa almost always makes an amazing personalized gift for the birthday boy or girl. And it's not like the scarf your grandma used to knit for you...it's the coolest gift at the party.
















So I'm excited that she's finally agreed to start blogging about all of her creations! So head on over to Antsi-Pants for gift or party ideas, decorations, card making, desserts, and lots more!
