It really is pretty amazing how much better I feel if I take the time to paint my nails.

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.

Lets get some shoes…
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!

Every time I get a New font I like to explore it’s possibilities. Sometimes this means using it to make an octopus.
