Rubber mallets are a fantastic wedding idea.
And housewarming! Not so sure about baby showers, though... Would be a hit with a two year old!

The last wedding present I gave someone was a gravy boat. It was on her registry, and I wanted to tell my grandkids one day that I had purchased one. It felt very old-timey and historical. And then, because it was like fifteen bucks, I also gave cash.
I just vanity searched my name for the last few natters, and so I'd like to respond to some comments that are about 3 years out of date:
1) Princesses ARE cool. Full stop.
2) I do not remember asking Scrappy why my office was shaking, but an earthquake does seem like a better reason than an air conditioner.
3) I respond to my real name and Alibelle equally in my real life. My mom almost always calls me Alibelle. Kat, weren't we going to go to lunch sometime? I still have presents to give you.
4) I DID go to the Twilight Eclipse premiere AND I AM NOT ASHAMED. That movie is hilarious, and they had little bits of meadow in sandboxes at the party. Also, a giant moon over the fake mountain covered in snow. I really wanted to lay down in one of the meadow boxes and quote poetry, but my dress was a little short so I opted not to. Worth it.
5) ita, is your sister still in the UK? I'm visiting again and would love to see her. You too, actually. But I am totally happy seeing you in LA, if you don't want to go to the UK. I'm generous like that.
Seriously, I really did miss you guys. Virtual hugs for all!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey Alibelle!

Matilda totally agrees with you.

I always knew Matilda was a bright sort of princess.

Oh, Anne, congrats! You deserve it!

She also makes an excellent Alice in Wonderland.

Matilda makes a truly excellent Alice. She looks so much like a tiny Mia W. in that picture.
