Pinterest inspired me to get a little creative with some of my Christmas presents this year. It was tons of fun for me to shop at craft stores and try to make something beautiful. I'll have to get more into projects this year.
Behold, the dry-erase marker calendars I made for Emily and Doug, and Scott and Caprice:
The initial wall-hanging for my 70's style lovin' sister Kathryn:
And the wreath I made for my mom:
I've been v-e-r-y slowly working on a yarn wreath for my dining area. The covered section in the photo took 20 minutes, folks! Is there something I should know about more efficiently making a yarn wreath? 
I am wrapping a water weenie! Ha ha. I got it all covered, then decided it was too skinny to be so wide, so I unwrapped the whole thing, cut out a five or six inch chunk, and am about halfway done wrapping it again. Sigh. I'm still not sure how I'll adorn it when I'm done. It's not top priority right now.In other news, Todd and I have a tradition of buying a new game every year for New Year's Eve. We trade off whose turn it is to pick it out, and go into extensive research trying to find something we'll love. It's been tricky, but rewarding, looking for games that are fun to play with just two players. This year Todd bought Ticket to Ride. We played it four times in a row. Other successful games from past years include Carcassonne and Mr. Jack. Check them out!

Look at you being all crafty! I can't wait to see your finished yarn wreath.
Very fun Ang!! Can't wait to see how your yarn wreath turns out. I bought a straw wreath to make into a front door production last year....and it is still sitting naked, unadorned, and under my bed.
