What a fun idea!
This just screams Christmas and I love it!!! This is going to be so much fun!
This looks like it would be crack for me, too! Although, yeah….I’ve never done crack, either. I like to say that everything I know about drugs, I’ve learned from “Breaking Bad.” True story.
I’m obsessed with this idea! Love it!
