Is it just me?

Is it just me or do you also have to go around your elbow 3 times, do seven jumping jacks, scratch your right eyebrow with your left hand to do anything? What am I talking about? If this makes no sense to you then you are among the chosen few who float when they walk, angels sing when you smile, and everything always go right for...congratulations...you disgust me.  I'm completely jealous. Life is not such for me.

For example, hey you in the back stop rolling your eyes saying "Oh no, here she goes again on some tangent that has nothing to do with paper crafting." I do, just hold on to your panties. As I was saying, for example, a pipe broke under our kitchen sink. The weld actually cut loose while the dishwasher was pumping out (after only its first rinse, couldn't be the last leaving me with clean dishes, nope, not me). So basically my kitchen turned into a swimming pool. Fortunately for me, hubby caught it quickly so my at home spa was quickly shut down. My husband is very handy and spent the better part of Saturday taking apart the drain and purchasing new pipes. While cutting off some of the old pipe, yes he had to cut  it, the sink started to move. Seems the sink clips that were holding the sink in place had rusted. As a side note, he never siliconed in the sink, so water has seeped down under the edge of the sink allowing this rust. I've asked him a dozen times a year since it was installed to seal up the bottom. Today, I did the "told you so" dance! (quietly as I still need him to fix the sink)

After a run to the hardware store it is decided that nobody locally carries replacement clips. After a brief thought of having to replace the sink, we had to mail order the replacement clips. They will not be here for 10 days, yep 10. I don't know whether to cry at the thought of not cooking, eating sandwiches, salads, and take out off paper plates for the next week plus, or jump for joy because my nails with look fantastic!

Okay, skimmers perk up, the issue for me is this type of issue where to do one thing you must do 20 others first also pertains to my crafting. Especially my craft room. I have some new cling stamps. I store them in notebooks. I'm out of notebook space. I have some space next to other notebooks that contain cling stamps, but all my Cricut cartridges are sitting there. So to put away my stamps I have to move 30 Cricut cartidges. I decide to move them to a shelf that has some smaller paper pads on it. I have been moving them to fridge bins instead of labeling the spines and having them on a shelf. But I've taken all the 6 by 6 pads out already, finding that all that is left is 8 by 8, which don't fit in the fridge bins. So now a few, innocent, never wanted to hurt anybody, cling mounted stamps are creating absolute havoc in my stamp room.

Now I'm wondering if I'm an oddity (watch it....) or the norm. Do other stampers walk around with golden auras and birds singing like in Snow White or are they doing their 3 spins around their elbow preparing for jumping jacks?

What the heck?

Obviously, I know nothing about a blog and very little about computers. How do you get this here and that there? It couldn't be easy could it? They couldn't just say, here April, this is how you make you header. Here April, this is how you post. Here April, this is how you make it so someone can subscribe. Nope, it all has to be one giant secret hidden in a top secret code and terminology that I'm quite sure was written by the Aztecs! Perhaps this blog stuff is some kind of government conspiracy to control our minds and drive us all nuts! No we will NOT be discussing politics here. Finally, somewhere safe, huh!

So a blog, hum. Well, this is to support my youtube channel which is Paperista, not Inky Paperista just plain ole' Paperista. Paperista was taken as a blog (back to that nothing can be simple thing). My youtube channel is about paper, anything crafty to do with paper. I've been a paper crafter for a long time so if I don't get some of these zillion techniques recorded I fear my head might explode (either from techniques or sinus pressure take your pick). I thought about listing the techniques we'll be playing with and using all made up words to baffle everybody but it seems a moot point since I'm basically typing this to myself and nobody reads it. I suppose someday someone might find it and read it, not exactly sure how that happens but just putting it out there to the universe that if I'm the only person in blog land that nobody reads and I type and babble to myself, well I might just get a complex. I'll definitely go eat some worms! Get it? From the song "nobody likes me everybody hates me I'm gonna eat some worms." I should probably put it out there from the start that my family often talks in movie/tv/commercial/song lines. I know it's a silly game we play but we've been doing it for so long I can't help myself. If this blog thing ever goes anywhere I should have blog candy for people that know a certain line. Note before this my husband was trying to get this to work and posted a line from Bob's Burgers and Young Frankenstein. Told you, even hubby has crossed over.

So now what to do....guess I should figure out if I can post a picture of a card. Hummmm, maybe this button...

Yes, I'm aware that this is kind of from Valentine's Day, but I'm counting myself lucky that the picture is even here. If anyone ever reads this, have a great day and enjoy your flying car!

Put the candle BACK
