Yo-Yo Storage Chest

My friend Charlie aka Charlie90SE at PCCrafter sent me a wonderful package of yo-yo's. A crafters delight right.. well awhile back PCCrafter had a swap of yo-yo's that I couldn't join even know I really wanted to because I had this great idea of what to use them for......well here is the great idea. I made this storage chest to hold all my yo-yo makers and supplies. Now I can easily find them and always know exactly where they are in my craft room..(If you have seen my craft room you know I need this) Thanks so much Charlie for helping this idea to finally be a reality...I love it..how about you...

I Will Never Forget...Will you

I remember exactly where I was when I found out about the world trade center...I had just walked in to my desk to start my days work..I was shocked, I was horrified and still didn't even know the dynamics of the full story. To this day I still don't realize the full dynamics becasue no one I knew was there, no one I knew was involved...but then I think someones family was there, some one near me surely was involved.. I am an American I am involved.. Please join me in remembering this day, remembering these families, remembering we are one...we are Americans. I will not forget will you....

My friend Becky smokes these Imported Dreams Cigarettes that taste like vanilla and chocolate..can you imagine that....anyway the box smells like you guessed it..vanilla or chocolate..She gave me a challenge to recycle them into something fun.. so I did...with Halloween coming up this was a easy challenge. I made them into treat boxes with the help of graphics from PCCrafter I was on my way..I used a martha stewart scalloped punch and black paper to cover the edges..and they smell like chocolate... so naturally I added chocolate. Happy Haloween
