A few years ago I vowed to say no to volunteering. For the most part I've kept my word. Life has been better.
Now I'm saying no to another pesky thing that never turns out the way you want it to. SAY NO TO CRAFTING!
I can't craft my way out of a Ziploc bag, even when it's already half open.
One of my good friends, who is by the way a peerless crafter, posted a craft idea on Facebook. Here it is:
Aren't those gorgeous? The directions were really, really simple. Elmer's glue, food coloring, and water. Apply with sponge brush.
It happened that I had some old bottles that I scavenged from the old midden heap at the family farm. In the days of yore (oh, heck ... until about 1992) there was no garbage collection in the mountains, so you just threw all the stuff out in the woods. What the critters didn't eat just sat there. Mother Earth swallows it up, trust me. I had to dig around to get some jars that were in one piece.
So! Old jars in the basement, great easy craft instructions... what can go wrong?
The instructions and ingredients can be in the hands of an uncrafty person, that's what.
The photo doesn't do them justice. They look worse.
No amount of stained hands, tweaking, or advice from The Heir (art major) made any difference to these pathetic attempts at art.
You know what I'm going to do with the next wonderful craft idea I see? I'm going to say NO.
Free advice from Anne: If it took you a long time to learn how to tie your shoes, you are never going to be a competent crafter. Say no. There are socks to sort.

I betcha Peerless Crafter's mason jars had about a million billion gazillion coats. Who has time like that?
My husband divorced me and went after his ex and left me heart broken for 2 years. I have been playing the lottery for some years before I got married and I have never won any big amount. I continued to play the lottery but I couldn't win more than $500 dollars until I was introduced to Dr Amber that is a strong Haiti spell caster. I had a chat with him via +18084815132 telling him what a mess my life has become. He encouraged and promised to get my man back for me and to help me win the lottery. There were specific instructions that was passed to me by him which I adhered to as he prepared the spell for me that brought back my husband within 36 hours and he gave me some sure numbers to play the lottery game. I used the numbers to play the lottery and I was declared the winner of Ten Million Dollars and all this happened within a week after I knew Dr Amber. It doesn't matter what you are going through in life Dr Amber is here to help. You can visit his website: amberlottotemple.com or E-mail: { amberlottotemple@yahoo.com }.
