I am not a crafter. I don't frequent Michael's or Robert's or any other male named Craft store. But come Valentine's day I start searching around for those 50% off coupons and set my mind to some doilying. I was perusing Martha Stewart's website and found these little lovlies. Looked easy enough right?
It seemed like a harmless and easy activity and it seemed to appease Amelia's disdain for my only 1 box of Valentine's decorations (as compared with my 21-no joking Christmas or 9 Halloween boxes)
I think the problem I have with crafting is that I prefer to wing it and I don't like to be bothered with directions. I noticed that I needed a pencil sharpener for the crayon shavings. I was too lazy to go find one and unwilling to use my lancome eye liner sharpener on it, and I figured I am really handy with a knife. I shaved for awhile then thought I could make the process go faster if I used...my...cuisinart..
If its good enough for cheese and onions why not crayons?
Why you ask?
Well this is why.
A little force called centrifugal coupled with a hot motor is why not.
Crap. Good thing I have stock in magic eraser?
And good thing I found some paints so the crafting could continue.
