That crazy Claudia at
House of Shine is always coming up with some wild and fun idea but I'll be honest. I kind of went into this project dragging my feet and thinking I would make up some excuse not to do it Wednesday night.
You know- the boys had too much homework. I ran out of time and didn't get it done. I couldn't think of anything. I had to pluck my eyebrows. Drew needed brain surgery.
Those kinds of things.
At about 1:30 I thought maybe I could finagle some kind of heart to put on there but had no idea how I was going to do it. After going to Chick-fil-a and sitting in the longest line EVER. I swear, it was out on to the highway we finally got home at about 6:45.
I ate. I changed clothes. I dug in and got busy.
I gathered some cardboard boxes and some hangers. Cut and tape while holding my tongue to one side and applying pressure with my big toe. Once the heart started taking shape I realized that I was going to need some foam core board and some red spray paint.
Who wants to go to Hobby Lobby? Yay. I mean, YAY!
Cut, tape, paint. Cut, tape, paint.
LOOK AT HOW STINKING CUTE IT TURNED OUT!
Sorry, I'll stop yelling now.
I'm pretty darn pleased with it. And I was done before 9:30 or so. Just think how cool it could have been if I had started on it when Claudia first announced it! Oy!
I put a $5 gift card from Starbucks in the mailbox for our postal delivery person this morning.
Claudia decorated her mailbox as a
Lion.
I wondered today what it would be like to just drive off in my Traverse with my iPod, my camera, and my sketch book supplies to an undisclosed location without telling a soul I was leaving and not knowing exactly where I was going.
