Oh "JOY"

After chasing around all morning looking for supplies
Samantha asked me this
"Mom, are we going to be busy when we get home?"
Me "Yes, very busy"
Her (acting very annoyed like she likes too) "What do we have to do?"
Me "First we'll eat lunch then I have to start sorting all this stuff we bought. Are you going to help me?"
Her (big sigh) "I guess"
And what is all this "stuff" you may be wondering, let me spell it out...
126 wood blocks (cut and painted)
126 squares of paper
168 die cut (by me) letters (3 HOURS at Pebbles)
168 jewels
25 yards of white ribbon
2 spools of red ribbon
42 tags, flowers, jump rings, etc.
18 pkgs. of buttons (totaling 1134 buttons!)
plus a bunch of other stuff
Equal one out of control Super Saturday project that I am in charge of!!!
Really, I'm not complaining. I'm just stunned at the response to this craft.
I guess I should be flattered that people like it.
Oh and by the way, Samantha ended up finding a friend and left me to fend for myself!
