10 things I have learned about crafting....

I was over at my craft table making some cards when the UPS man came with my Oh My Crafts order WOOT WOOT *okie loves to see the UPS or Fedex or even th Post man* and I had been thinking about things *okie knows this is dangerous, especially without supervision but okie likes to live on the wild side sometimes*. So anyway I was thinking about silly things...so here it is...

10 things I have learned about crafting

1. Cutterbee scissors are very sharp...always keep bandaids around

2. No matter how many colors of blue cardstock you have you never have the right shade....keep credit card handy

3. ATG tape is very very sticky...never just put lines of it on your craft table thinking it will keep the cats off of the table

4. Ink gets everywhere...cat eye, pens, alcohol, you name it, it will get all over your hands!

5. If your Cricut is hungry it will eat!...yelling at it pushing, the stop button, hitting cancel on DS or any other method will only angry it and make it eat more

6. Undu is a must have...especially when you stick down a photo on a LO upside down

7. If you only have one sheet of paper you love you will mess it up...always buy in 3's!

8. If you buy one punch you WILL buy more.......every shape and size there is, there needs to be a 12 step program

9. If you go to the scrapbook store for just one sheet of 79 cent paper you will spend at least $20...again keep credit card handy

10. If someone posts a neat or cute product on the Cricut Messageboard it will soon become in short supply....AGAIN I STRESS KEEP CREDIT CARD HANDY!!

  6. It's like the 10 Commandments of Crafting! I couldn't agree more with every single one! I'm not even crafting right now -- I'm at work 60 miles from home -- and I've got ink all over me! LOL!!!
