As if I didn’t have enough excuses to go to the craft store.

Sheeseh, I’ve got a list the size of my oldest child, filled with all sorts of things I want to pick up from Home Depot, Goodwill, Michael’s, Joanns….ect.

I think it’s becoming a bit of an obsession.

Well, today I got me some of these….

Needless to say, I’ve been wandering around the house just looking for something to Shanty up a bit.
(or is it the other way around? I’m not quite sure what Shanty means exactly?)

I even Big Mac even brought down my Altered Art box….

(Which is just a Junk-Filled Rubbermaid that I keep in my garage in the hopes of one day turning into fantastic, whimsical little treasures…….I open it about once a month to throw in little bits of things I pick up….I can’t remember the last time I actually took anything out.)

(Anyone else have a box like this?)

Well, Now, with everything I’m learning I’m going to have to start my own:
“Shanty Box.”

Sounds interesting doesn’t it?

I’m sure Big Mac will be thrilled to know that it’s just another rubbermaid to hoist over his head and stuff somewhere in the garage.
(and not anything otherwise interesting as it might sound)

Poor Guy. Living in the shadows of a craft addiction.

Anyway, I think I found my first victim.

The lamp not the hubby.

I’m sure I could spray Big Mac down a bit too,
but the sandpaper might be a bit much…..

Think I’ll keep him as he is.

Now…..I’m OFF to find a “Well Ventilated Area?” …..

How important is that anyway?

PS: Yes the fish are still alive in that murky mess, I’m sure a certain someone will clean it soon
If NOT, Nature will inevitably takes it’s course……….

Horrible Parenting skills right?

What would you do?
