Craftiness!

Kathy and I took a little get away to Michael’s to help occupy the cat and relieve a bit of stress. I am fascinated by those shadow boxes but I have no idea what I would do with it if I got one so in the store it stays. There is a lot of scrapbooking stuff. I love how they sell ‘scrap’ paper that are just various sized squares packaged and sold by the pound. Since I am not a woodsmith and fear losing my fingers too much I opted for one of those premade by the chinease bird houses and feeders. If the chinease wanted to take over they could fit anything made in their country with a tiny microphone and an explosive, we would all be gone. We than went to look for a some paint so we can have the prettiness and snobbiess birds to move in and feed. I never realized that craft paint cost so much money, I guess I am paying the price for exact colours but my god 50 bucks for 6 colours was a bit more than I expected. We luckily found some paint that was a bit cheaper at 2.99 and left with it. Oh we also left with a couple of clay pots to decorate at a later time to encourage more greeness. Oh yes, Michael’s has the cutess mini shopping carts!

Last night I went out painting the feeder and Kathy went and painted the house today. We did get a lighthouse as well but we are saving that one for later, Kathy’s parents are into lighthouses. It is kind of neat, it is a birdhouse as well and you can also fit a tea candle in in as well.. Oh can you guess which one I made and which one Kathy made?

Needless to say Kathy has talent and mine looks like it was made by my attention deficit 5 year old niece, wait maybe she is 6, whatever. I just know mine will repulse the critters that my cat enjoys looking at. We were going togo bike riding instead but I kind of wanted these up sooner rather than later and the turkey was making me feel weird.

I think I should move this tv in this room into the basement so my nieces won’t bother me so much and they could play Sims on PS2 to their hearts content and they can fight over and cry about the game until their hart’s content as well. Wait, that last sentence was not proper, neither is this one. The weather was nice a little cold with the wind but quite nice with a hoodie. I was tempted again to get a Canon S2 but after going into the store I realized that Future Shop’s Easter sale was pretty much a scam and the camera was not a 150 off as they claimed, maybe 150 if the extra memoryt card they included in the package was very expensive. Saving money is nice, too many cash outlays lately and I still haven’t done taxes, maybe I’ll pay them this year.
