From Gina in May

Note to self, and anyone else who is looking to kill time:

Do a search on the blog for *cactus* and see how many pop up.

Cactus (or cacti?) are so design friendly. 
You can make anything fun just by making it roundy and green and then

adding prickles.

So cool.

And then -- the frosting in the envelope...

The prickles are 3D. Bits of thread.

Prickles isn't the right word, but I can't think of what the word is for the...

spines?

That doesn't seem right.

I'm on a posting binge, so will refrain from researching.
