impulsereaderBefore I begin whinging yet again - go take a gander at my fabulous Holmestice gift! It is here http://holmestice.livejournal.com/190458.html?thread=1681402& and it is gorgeous. Seriously - so much work went into this. :-) (Thank you to everyone who has already left fabulous feedback :-)
Don't get me wrong, I do not routinely 'scrapbook' but the holiday festivities have gotten a bit out of hand recently and I find I am surrounded by paper and glue and pictures not my own (an entirely separate matter which adds to the crankiness) including CDs and tea - just all sorts of stuff which is time-sensitive if it is actually going to be holiday-ish.
I have one project which is fairly straight-forward: glue pretty paper to bits of cardboard on the way to making a pretty pretty book. Round 1 - went fabulously - honestly - completely flawless results. Round 2 - disaster, bubbles everywhere - utterly disastrous because this is on the other side of Round 1 rendering the previous success null and void. Round 3 (in which I thought I had sorted out the problems of Round 2 and was being eminently sensible) - guess again. Granted - I did not, in fact, buy the exact same glue from Round 1 again (which I had intended to do) on accident - but still! Come on! Cut me some slack gods of crafting! I'm trying to send out some holiday happiness here.
*is petulantly Grinchy*
*actually aims a kick at Max*
*though she purposely misses because Max is her favorite cartoon character pretty much ever*
*cuddles Max in apology*
*but is still Grinchy and sad about all the annoying bubbly paper*
*Max barks at annoying bubbly paper*
*hugs Max*
*sneezes*
because even when he is a cartoon she is quite possibly still allergic...
