{Crafting Under The Influence!!}

I've got the Ick!
I feel like someone hit me with a splintered 2x4 or at least that's what my throat feels like, but sick or not I must push on! So I worked a little bit on my sad DVD Hutch to make it more ahem...."Festive", not sure if I'm loving it or not, I figure once the drugs wear off I may change the whole dang thing but for now it will have to do.
I got this cute bobbin idea from my bloggy friend Cherry, Thanks!!
Then I got the bright idea (cough BB) to try and make a portable magnet board for one of the kids for Christmas...... 
The key word we are all looking for here is TRY.... 
Well, lets just say the note on the board says it all. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! I think I may just order them from the Etsy store where they are found and leave the crafting to the professionals. 
Seriously what the heck was I thinking!?! 
Just goes to show you that Drugs and crafting don't mix! I'm sorry did I just say crafting? Ha ha ha, 
I meant crapping yeah I have decided that I don't craft I basically create crap. ;) This is so a little project gone wrong. Sigh......


Cough!! Cough!! Cough!! Off to bed I go......

  17. so sorry that you are sick! nothing like mom getting sick when she has more on the to do list than ever!! Wish I was closer-I would be a good friend and bring dinner and help where I could!

    So-I was wondering if I could buy your services. I don't need right now, or even before christmas.
    I was wondring if you would design a blog for my business. I want it to look Kickin cute-like yours! I know that it wont be that hard, just lots of pics. I just want it to look great.
    SO-when you are feeling around to it-and don't feel like a truck hit you in the head, let me know and we can work something out.
