Disneyland was major fun. I got to met my Belle and Jaime's daughter got to met her Cinderella.

She was up in San Francisco for the week. I took her to Color me Mine in Westlake to make a plate for him for Father's Day. Of course, she told him she painted a plate. There was drama with her mother because she had fun with "my Gladys." I was expecting the yelling to be about her daughter and me at Disneyland but instead it was about a plate and her having fun with me.

What can you do?

I was disappointed with Color me Mine though. It was Tea Thursday. Pretty much you paint a tea pot and get a tea cup for free. There were no tea cups to be found and all the sample/colored tea pots I liked, they didn't have for me to paint. Later, the sale girl tells me since it's not a popular night, they don't ordered much tea stuff and then it turned out the free tea cup was pretty much a sake cup.

I get to pick up the finished plate tomorrow. I'm hoping nothing happens to it because the next time she's up here is June. I read reviews on yelp.com and they were pretty bad. One lady said they broke most all the pieces her and her friends had worked on. =/

I finally picked up my "I hate you" neckalce! I got a 60 dollar gift card and used it towards it. I want to wear it at work but I don't think I can get away with it. They don't like me wearing the Pirate Pistol necklace so I doubt a "I hate you" one would fly at the Concierge desk.

Oh, I also did a lot of thrift shopping. I'll post pictures of my finds. I found a Scooby Doo Clue board game, VHS tapes of Sailor Moon dubbed, some tea cups, and clothes!

I just wanted to do a quick update. I hope everyone is doing well out there. I'll post pictures from Disneyland soon!

I've been crafting.
I finally got to use mod podge and I have to say that stuff is strong. I stuck my fingers together trying to make my first project.

I made a switch plate. I bought a plain white one at Ace hardware on 4th street. It's lockheed from AXM. Kitty Pryde's dragon.

I pretty much cut it out, brushed a whole lot of glue on the plate and put the paper on top. It was a pain in the ars because it would stick right on. I almost ripped it a few times.

I left it dry for a few days and then Knowone helped by cutting the hole where the flick would go.

I need to make more of these. My room at my mother house is a 3 switch one. I'm gonna put part of the Disneyland map on and send it over.

BEADS!!
I haven't played with these in years. I bought a small packet at Walgreens. I wanted to make a cassette tape but I didn't have enough black beads.

I decided to make a floppy disk instead.
Do people remember floppy disks or just me? I hope more people remember. Anyways, I'm debating if I should turn into a necklace or use it as a coaster.

Finally a pair of Hello Kitty earrings I can wear. If the hook is not Sterling Silver or Gold, my ears get very very nasty and itch. As I joke, I'm an expensive bitch. ;]

These girls were ear bud clips. I bought them and clipped them onto my gummy blue ear buds. Before I even walked out the door, they popped off 5 times.

I had plain DD earring studs lying around. 2 rings and some pliers later I turned them into earrings!! Customers at worked loved them. I guess it's better to wear Hello Kitty earrings then a razor blade necklace.


My next project is going to be making frosted drinking glasses!! I watch Three men and a baby now. I smell food in the kitchen!! Yuuuuuuum!!
