My new role in life seems to be as a younger, smarter, uh, clumsier Martha Stewart. Okay, so I won't go into insider trading - promise! - but I have developed a new love for crafting. I won't give away any secrets of what I've made, b/c many (or some) of those items will soon become Christmas Gifts - don't worry, they've been made with certain people in mind...I'm not just giving away popsicle sticks w/some glitter and glue thrown on top.
In any case, I'm having fun picking out material, paint and other fun stuff. I also greatly enjoy just taking out some material and a box and seeing what I can do. Yesterday, I made the coolest thing!! I'll tell you about it, b/c it's very exciting. You see, I had like 6 folders just stacked haphazardly under my desk - they looked terrible - and anyone who knows me knows that I like things to be neat (haha and preferably in alphabetical order). So, I took a box, covered it in material, put velcro on the flappy things that close it, and voila, a fancy holder for my tacky little folders. I even glued memorabilia all over the box (well, not gaudy all over, but enough). It looks neat and orderly and just a little bit off-center...considering the things I glued onto the box. Still, it expresses my personality and allowed me to use stuff I already had. Amazing how creative I've become since having no money...
