I lost my innocence today....

18 years ago

I took a break from cleaning the house and jumped in the car and headed straight to the local glass shop.

I bought a #5 lb. bag of colorful scraps of end pieces of spectrum glass

then, as if that wasn't enough...

I drove straight back home and got on ebay and found a site that had scraps from their shop..

I bought 2 lots of #10 each of blues and even more blues

as if I was satisfied....no....

I went on to buy yet another #10 bag of an assorted mix of colors....

I didn't have patience to do the bidding routine...no, I did the "buy it now" drill.

it's finally gotten to me, all the beautiful creations that are posted here and I don't have a dammmmmmd thing to share and show.

I do have a sparkly clean kitchen though..but who cares?..lol

I'm going to be sitting on pins and needles, waiting for delivery of the boxes...

that's 30 pounds of colorful delight, coming my way!

yep, I'm jazzed!

GOOD FOR YOU!!! How long does a clean kitchen last anyway? You're creating something that gives you and everyone who sees it pleasure for a long time plus the satisfaction of the creative process. And, all in all, it's a lot cheaper than most hobbies. Speaking of....going to the thrift store today to take them stuff and it's the beginning of 1/2 price week!

hahahahahaha.. sounds so familiar!! I really need new shoes, [I am using my mosaic glue to keep the soles on my hiking boots] but can't seem to spend the money on that nonsense....not when there are glass sales abound!

Aren't we funny?? Think nothing of spending $$$ on glass or a new tool. All my "everyday" clothes have stains of some sort.Can't hardly go to the store without looking raggedy!!
