For instance, I recently went to Michael’s and snapped up six Halloween/fall rubber stamps for $1 apiece. Will I use them?

Probably not.

Sigh. I have a problem. I love, love, LOVE craft stuff. I buy craft stuff with great hopes that I’ll get crafty. Or I’ll scrapbook. Yes! I have such grand plans to scrapbook! And make cute things that I’ll look at years from now and think to myself, “I’m so glad I did/made that.”

Yeah right. I have grand hopes and illusions but my follow-through is for crap.

So there’s a class that interests me and I’m thinking that if I actually plunked down the money and listened to the wise words and gentle guidance of Ali Edwards, that I might actually scrapbook. The class is a huge chunk of change though. But it’s Ali! Do you visit her blog? It’s so awesome. She is wonderfully talented and I love looking at her photos. Sigh. What to do what to do.

What should I do? I think the class will be awesome. I know Ali is awesome. But will I be awesome and really commit to the class? Or be a big flake and waste money and end up being angry with myself.

HELP ME.

Happy Labor Day weekend! Thank goodness for three day weekends. They help keep my insanity (barely) intact.

p.s. – I had my first PSL of the season and it was deee-lish. And someone found my blog via the keywords Pumpkin Spice Latte Blog. Damn it, there should be a PSL blog! That would be awesome! Please people keep coming to my site. Let’s keep talking about the PSL. I have strong, mad, crazy love for the PSL…

A scary place.

Photobucket

Evil creatures lurk there.

Photobucket

Evil Diegos. Die Diego die!

Photobucket

Cue the music – my hero has come to save the day!

Photobucket

SHIA! Kill that snake with your mighty sword. Heh heh heh…

Photobucket

The evil creature is dead.

Photobucket

That’s right sweetie. Take off your jacket and stay a while. Flex those muscles. You’re so tough.

Photobucket

The jungle doesn’t scare you!

Photobucket

Witnesses to my madness.

And I watched an interview with him last night. He said the words, “I have a crush on Karen (well he’s talking about Karen Allen who’s in the film with him but I don’t care).” So yes, those very words have dropped from his lips. He’s crushing on me. Isn’t that just the sweetest thing?

Yes I really have lost my mind.
