    Love it, love it all.

    Clockwise from top left: Super cool letter game with neat vintage chipboard letters; X-Files card game, it’s the starter pack and Sciarrino and I can’t wait to play (okay maybe this one is not THAT vintage, but hey); awesome apron with kick ass fabric (see the picture of the day for a close up); some funny buttons, I love the kiss me one, was that an ad or something?; old labels and advertisements, cool graphics, future project; the find of the day, a four drawer card catalog; little globe bank, too cute to pass up; another bank (no I don’t collect them, coincidence) this one is a miniature jar!!! It’s less than four inches tall. I love it.

    Wanna see another shot of that card catalog?
    Drawer
    I’ve already pulled out the metal stuff on the bottom and cut mat board to fit. Someday (when I have my own place) I am going to get a huge one of these. Oh and a grain display (for my fabric, how sweet would that be?) But for today I am very happy with these finds.

    The whole card holder part actually sits on a really long shallow drawer. I covered the face of it with paper, ripped out the old ribbon tab and replaced it with ribbon jar ribbon. Like I said, you need to make one of these, fun, fun, fun.

    Wow, so yesterday was awesome. It was the best Ribbon Jar day ever! It was totally crazy and I realized how much my mom helps me out. I was running around like a mad woman. But it was all good. So today I worked, and managed to get done around mid afternoon so I could get a little creative time in. I finished my project while the sun was going down (and it was cloudy) so no picture yet. Let me just say though, you need to go get one of the Hallmark card organizers. I pimped mine out and it frigin rocks. They are the organizers you get for like five bucks when you buy three cards. I saw them on a commercial a while ago and hadn’t been anywhere near a Hallmark store until last weekend and they still had them. So pictures tomorrow. Oh and any one who reads my blog can use that alpblog coupon. I don’t have to like know you intimately or anything. I’ll just assume you think I’m really funny and terrific, hehehe.

    The most random thing today? I was walking around the pool tonight… in the dark. And I stepped on something. Something gross, something that made me scream. I hopped into the hot tub and then felt my foot. It was slimy, so so slimy and I couldn’t get it off. So after I dried off I turned on the flood light. There were slugs everywhere. And I had stepped on one… and chopped it in half. EW!!!!
