So You Think You're Crafty: Week Two


Well, Week One at So You Think You're Crafty is finally over and I'm not going to tell you which craft was mine. It did terribly and if you are really that interested you can take the time to go poke around and find it... but I think I'll focus on this week instead. Which is 'Thrift Store Find,' and boy is this right up my lane.

I can do thrift store finds. Junk is my medium of choice and this project was by far my favorite craft I've ever done. I hope it does well this time, because if it doesn't I'm not sure I'll care anymore. :)

Of course that could just be the exhaustion talking. The mom who has a mob of angry, nasty germs camped out in her home.

This weekend was the worst. I had some kids on the mend (and exhausted) and some kids heading on in (and exhausted.) I was very nearly ready to run out my front door screaming and tearing out my hair like some maniac.

Shall I list some of the insane, not thinking it through, decisions my kids made yesterday?

*Vicbowin permanent markered "I U" onto a craft project I'm working on.

*Albowin burst into tears when I put the wrong honey on his sandwich, screamed at me and ran pell-mell into his room like I'd just lit his hair on fire.

*The Mischievite came running into the kitchen and shoved his brother as hard as he could for reasons none of us were sure about.

The day is starting to get fuzzy... thankfully... and I'm glad for that, because it was a long day. One thing, however is very clear in my mind. At around 3PM I was startled to realize how quiet it had become. I looked around the room and found it occupied with myself, Vicbowin and Remewin.

I got up to search for the boys (whom I was convinced might very well have tried to run away). This is what I found:



Ha! I knew they were tired!

Anyway, go VOTE and make my week better than my weekend.

Sorry your craft didn't do well last time. I still want to know which one it was though because I went back and looked and I still think I voted for your craft. The sick in bed tray? You don't have to tell me though because I don't like rehearsing a bad week either.

Your boys!! How funny. What a great relief I bet it was to find them sleeping so soundly. Hope your household germs die a sudden and permanent death and you have a better week.

How did the second house showing go?

Yes it was the sick in bed set. blah. I thought it would do better than that. But at least I have it now and just in time too. The kids love it.

The first time I used it was for the Mischievite and his eyes went all huge like his heart had just expanded a million inches. Who needs votes when you have that sort of reaction?!

I'm not sure how the house viewing went. No word from them on offers or anything, but they were here for almost an hour.... so either they were ransacking the place, which wouldn't make them any richer at all, or they were reeeeaaaallly looking.

::shrug:: I haven't noticed any of my fake jewelry missing so I think we're probably safe assuming it was the latter. :)
