So when coming up with my newest Halloween class idea for Paper Tales "The Boo Banner",
I realized that my glittered word "Boo" was over before I even got started. There was no way I would have enough "B's" much less "O's" to be able to do even a small class. Oh sure, if Boo started with a "Z" or better yet a "Q", I'd be in business. But a "B" and two "O's"? ......Ha! That's top real estate. With one of my other chipboard sets, I was completely out of luck as it did not provide the crucial "O" to complete Boo.....
Somehow "Bo" doesn't have the same scare power......
Bobo?
I needed to figure out something quick. So I decided to trace the chipboard and fill it in with glitter. It just didn't have the same dimension as the chipboard. So I started experimenting with outlining the letters with black and orange glitter. Hmmmm....maybe it could work......
As I spent the day burying myself in glitter trying to work my way out of this alphabetical mess that I had wandered into, I realized I should call Diane at Paper Tales to have her set aside the items I needed for my class.
See....here's the thing. What I was supposed to be doing was working on my gift tag kits for class and the store. What I was doing instead was getting side tracked with these cute Jenni Bowlin chipboard pennants and some new paper. Nonetheless, I had the forethought to call Diane to set aside everything I needed. Paper....check. Cute cream with black polka dot ribbon......out. No problem. Just give me still as cute black with cream polka dot ribbon....out of that too. Uggg...ok I'll figure something out. Ok....Don't forget the all important, key to the whole project Jenny Bowlin Chip board pennants......one left. Sigh.
Creativity crashing headlong into reality.....and short notice planning. Tomorrow how I figured it all out.......Right now, off on a date with a 4 year old. We're taking a ride on a trolley!
