I use this stuff, I have proof! Okay the Martha Stewart glitter. I needed that stuff, it is the most sparkly glitter on the market you know. Not only did I make myself some very lovely glass glitter Christmas balls, I also made some for several friends in colors you can't find in any store. Now every year when they put up their Christmas tree there is a little bit of my craftiness to adorn it. Oh I also did a Halloween project that Martha (Stewart) showed on tv or in one of her magazines. Who knew that moss colored skulls could be so beautiful.

Then there is my bedazzler! I know what you're thinking a frickin Bedazzler. The plan when I bought it through the mail was I wanted to put rhinestones and stubs on belts, purses & tshirts. I did do one tshirt but the material was too delicate and the claws that hold the rhinestones snagged the tshirt. Then for Christmas my sister sent me this homemade jean purse she bought at a farmers market. It just wasn't me so I Bedazzled that baby! I am still not sure if it's me. The purse looks better but to leave my LV bag at home for it? I know, I am going to take it out next week when I do my grocery shopping. Thanks again for the purse Sis! NO PURSE PICTURE!
Then I have the watercolor paints and paper. You see my husband and I took a one day class on watercolors and you could buy the supplies at a very reduced price at the class so I did. The class was very informative but by lunch time Mike (my husband) & I were pretty much all painted out. We had an hour lunch break so we went downtown and grabbed a bite to eat. Apparently we took a little longer then an hour. When we returned to class everyone else had moved on to the independent project to be completed by the end of class. Time was a wasting so I decided to paint northern lights or aurora borealis. Being a very competitive person Mike also decided to paint them to see who would do a better job. I will upload pictures and you can decide the winner. We have used the supplies once since the class when we taught the kids all we had learnt.

Okay who doesn't have scrapbooking supplies at their house? I admit I have several but I have several memories to preserve. Sure I have completed a few pages but a whole album, not quite. I use to attend these ladies scrapbooking nights when we lived in a remote northern community and to be honest that is where I completed most of my pages to date. My husband asked me when I am going to complete a whole album. I told him that I am too busy living life right now to scrapbook it. I figure there will come a time in life when things will start to slowdown then I will have time to scrapbook. The beauty of it is when that time comes I won't have to go out and buy albums, paper, punches or embellishments, I already have them all.
My candle making supplies are used often. As a little side business I make soy wax candles and love, love, love to burn them in my own house. I like knowing exactly what the hell is in them. I mean people you are breathing in that air don't you think you should know what chemicals are in your candles .

My crafting supplies list could go on and on. I have decals, patches, paints, gems and jewels. I have wreath rings, Styrofoam balls and canvas in many sizes. The point is I may not use these things today but I will someday. I am going to show you the crafts I made yesterday for my daughter to take as a gift to a birthday party. I had all the supplies right in my craft room to complete these projects.
