School's fully underway but while I know what my physical schedule is, my HOMEWORK schedule is a roller-coaster to say the least. Anywho, I managed to find some time to post about my crafty Labor Day Weekend.
Recently when I was
at Michael’s, they had those thin wood letters for less than a dollar. They
were a good size so I thought, ‘Why not? Plenty of possibilities.’
I got home and a had
the ‘I Have to Do Something Crafty RIGHT NOW’ bug crawl up my pants. I decided I was
going to Mod Podge scrapbook paper on it. I had cardboard letter that I had gotten
from the Dollar Spot at Target as well and decided to kill two birds with one stone.
I have a pad of paper
with some of the prettiest colors and patterns in it. I also had plenty glue from my Elementary school days. Altogether, it was a perfect crafting storm.
In case you can't tell, the color scheme of my room is pink and black.
I got a grab bag of stuff from Michael's. It was unbelievable. 4 pads of 12x12 paper, a couple of large stamps, some confetti, a couple of toy dolls, and a nice handful of little wooden letters, one of which was another one of my initials.
I also couldn't help but get hooked on the 'Plate and Candlestick = Cake Stand' craze. The plate was on clearance at Target for $.88 and the candle stick was $2.50 in Target's Dollar Spot. A little hot glue was all it took.
I also went to JoAnn's and found a couple of these Iron-On appliques. Yet again, one of my initials.
I decided to use it as a signature on one of my tote bags I did.
Tote and fabric paint also from JoAnn's.
This next one isn't exactly crafty but it might be. I haven't decided. I found this electric typewriter at a local thrift store. It had a sticker price of $5.00 and the store was having a 50% off sale making it $2.50! I was ecstatic.
I took apart one typewriter for crafting purposes but quickly realized I would need another for my project to work and in walks this one. The problem is, I got home and realized it still worked and I can't bring myself to take it apart. However, it is kind of broken. The thing that holds the paper doesn't go the whole length of the paper and once you get to the end of a line, it doesn't go back to the beginning of the next line. Anyone know anything about fixing typewriters or where I could find some info on them and/or fixing them?
