i'm so handy

About a week ago my kitchen faucet broke thanks to the extremely heavy glass ball ornament that fell on it. The amazing thing is the ornament didn't break, but it hit the cold water knob and did some internal damage which caused the water to run continuously. Saturday we bought a new faucet and today in installed it. Myself. Me.
It took me almost 2 hours to get the old faucet off because the things were screwed on there so tight and it was a really old faucet. I finally got the old one off and then with a tiny bit of help got the new one on. woo! Who needs a man?

gettin crafty

I had this idea a while back (like 2 years ago) about making fridge magnets out of flat marbles and scrap book paper, so I made some up and handed them out as Christmas and birthday presents. I slacked off like I'm prone to do, collected a crap load of papers that I thought would make good magnet sets, and let the paper sit in a box for way too long.




Tonight my fingers started itching to make some again, and since my friend Crystal just had a house built and has a very sad and bare fridge door I thought I would make her some. I have two sizes, little 2 inch marbles, and then bigger idon'tknowwhatsize marbles. I was going to make the big ones for her, but when I got all my stuff out i couldn't find my big magnets. so she's getting small ones. Anyway, here's some pictures of the ones I made tonight. Nothing fancy, but I think they're pretty cute.
