Crafty Activities
Any of my truest Galentines would readily tell you that I am the kind of person who seems like she’s good at crafts but is actually pretty downright terrible at crafts.
The only exception? Silly homemade booklets of hotties just for my best friend.
Way back at that first high school get-together I described, I gifted my best gal with a homemade construction paper booklet filled with hot guys of all kinds.
Did I accidentally put in a picture of Josh Hartnett with the caption “I’ll take you on A Walk To Remember” when I actually should have put in a picture of Shane West? Yes.
Did that become a recurring joke that showed up in booklets of hotties that were made and gifted in the future? Also yes.
My personal favorite pages from the last book that my best friend made for me include photos of Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal with the caption “I’ll Give You My Heart If You Give Me Your Liver” and a picture of the Beast from the Disney cartoon with a caption that read “You will join me for dinner! That’s not a request!” and an extra speech bubble that said “I love you, Erin!”
There are lots of ways to tweak this activity. You could create a collage of your friends’ favorite book boyfriends or girlfriends. You could put in someone silly just for the laugh (once, my best friend Kristi included a picture of the Quaker Oats man! I did indeed crack up!). No matter which way you choose to go, I hope you have SUCH a good time assembling something that is handmade for your besties with glitter, weird captions and a finely curated collection of the people who are likely to make her smile.
