This morning I was inspired. I had planned on spending the day grading exams and maybe working on the quiver I told you about earlier this month. Instead, I came upon this post:
I had to make one.
I didn’t have all the suggested materials, but I knew I could improvise. (Next year’s will be a lot better though).
I started with two empty 12-pack boxes. All right, I bought a new one just for the occasion. Quite a sacrifice, I know. Then I selected 24 bottles of brewed deliciousness, either home-brewed or store-bought.

Then I covered the top with more wrapping paper.
