The day of really

I dub today the day of really? I live in a small 860 square foot condo with my boyfriend and our two kitties, so space is limited! I had thought of an awesome idea that I would make our massive drawer in our 'tech center' a filing cabinet! We have about three folders that we would keep different sorts of papers in which just started taking up more room! I was so excited to move along to the new Staples that just opened up behind our place! I had found a railing that I though would be PERFECT for our drawer and picked up some folders and cute labels! I spent two hours sorting through all the folders to mesh our three massive folder packs into one! I then built the railing and went to put it in the drawer but it did not fit. REALLY? I had not read the packaging! I was so frustrated then thought well these little folders with the hooks on the sides MUST fit in this drawer! REALLY? Not at all! Then as I was moping around the kitchen I looked up and realized I needed to register Edgar with the city (I have been putting this off for a very long time!). I called the city up and mentioned that we had another kitten in the house, the lady told me to register her as well since it would be free (she is just 3 months old) turns out it is no longer free! So I need to pay for both of my kittens to be registered. REALLY? This just stinks today!

I should have read the packaging! 

Crafting (Candy Dishes)

Sure this might not be the most conventional way to start a blog, but what better way to start things off with something I love. I have been scowering the web for Halloween craft Ideas and my results came up with SUPER cute candy dishes. I have had the last two days off work and I have one more day off ahead so I packed myself up this morning and headed out to Michaels! I bought an 'Apothecary' jar for starters and also purchased some Martha Stewart glass paint. 

This was the Apothecary dish ($40)

Martha Stewart glass paint in Habenero 

I then mixed in a small container the glass paint with some water to make it runnier.

I applied a generous amount of the watered down paint to my paintbrush and slowly started 

going around the outer edge.

I waited for the paint to drip down and when it was not quite to my satisfaction 

I had added a bit more water to the paint and dabbed it onto the spots

that had started running down the glass jar

I let this sit for a little over an hour to dry up and I also had accidentally broken the bottom of the dish before I had started. I super glued the jar back onto the base (SUPER FRAGILE!) and I used the paint around the base to conceal the crack!
