So not crafty

Turtle
Okay, I am so NOT crafty.  I can paint, I can draw but when it comes to crafts, or neatness, or projects I am the worst.  It has taken me over 2 hours to print out 9 pictures for my daughters pre-school scrapbook projects, along with $$ of wasted paper just now.  Whenever the girls want to do a project we look at all these amazing craft blogs, and even simple stuff like national geographic kids.  We were going to make a CD disco ball.  I didn't really have all the stuff...kinda, so spread it all out and almost put their eyes out, so we put on sunglasses, and blah blah blah, directions, directions directions.  Finally I gave up and said" let's just make stuff out of this junk".  AND we did!  Actually turned out to be kinda fun, and cute, and just a little sharp.  So I hung them on the bathroom wall with some of that ticky tacky gummy poster hanging stuff.  In the middle of the night, I heard them all crash into the bathtub, lucky the kids weren't in it.

Here's another one for my Anti-Craft record book.  Kinda cute, except for the dog ate all the lentil beans, threw up and I lost the other button eye before I could finish it.  But the kids learned how to sew, just like their mother.
