Have you seen my keys?

I give you giant rubber, acid trip tassle, may double as whip, keychain.
Allow me to explain:
Earlier Today…
I went to Walmart. There I found this giant bag of pink, orange, and blue rubber bands while looking for a crazy amount of gold safety pins. (FYI they don’t have them). I liked the colors, and the whole enormous bag was around $5 so…
Crafting. Challenge. Accepted.

Lately I have been looking for a non lame keychain. I, like so many people, suffer from an inability to remember where I put my keys frequently. It’s seriously challenging for me, so I decided to make my own key chain.

Lets get some shoes…

Posted on January 20, 2012 | 1 Comment

Actually lets MAKE some shoes would be more appropriate. So there are these Jeffrey Campbell shoes I like, however I don’t have 300 dollars to spend on (let’s be honest with ourselves) pretty ankle breakers soooooooo. I bought these kicky little knockoffs at Targét. They are a smaller platform which is much more my speed and with the help of some 97 cent for 70 nickel push pins from walmart I shall have my hearts desire in no time.

real thing = around $300
My version = base shoes $29.95 + 10 packs of pins = $39.65

I WIN!

My type study entitled “White Noise” The idea behind this comes from the innocuous salutations and sayings that we are taught to regurgitate and write from a young age, the things we automatically say to be polite or to fill awkward silence with noise. The words mean something on their own but together, they turn into white noise. Ultimatly they will be part of a seriously demented greeting card line I am sure my grandmother will “not care for it.”
