What can I say? We all need a Martha Stewart. Melissa Anthony was mine. She was hands down the most crafty, creative person I knew. We paired up numerous times over the years for class parties, girl scout activities, school functions and more. Melissa would her turn on her creative juices and go! I would say, “Just tell me what to do”, and we ended up with a top-notch class party and/or art project for the kids.
One of my favorites was the Christmas reindeer ornament. We cut, counted, separated and selected tiny pieces of ribbon, felt, pipe cleaners and googly eyes into one ziplock bag per student to make their own ornament (this of course, was concocted over wine at her kitchen table.) I still have the one Molly made and it is a favorite of mine 15 years later.
Melissa Anthony: Not just my Martha Stewart, but a dear friend that is truly missed. I cherish all the memories.
