artistic, green or whatever, i decided to make my father a birthday present this year out of popsicle sticks. . .just kidding. . .it was made out of tin cans, some tissue paper and left over wire hangers (not the wire hangers, Mommie Dearest!). Anyway, here it is. I am harboring a secret hope that he won’t like it so I can take it home, but considering he still wears the #1 DAD sweatshirt I made for him when I was 9, I doubt it will find a permanent home in my house.

How I did it: This was hilarious! Mostly because it took me so long and ended up being the easiest thing ever. I bought a new drill and that really helped and I used my Dremel to cut the door. (My door is hollow core metal.) When I started up the cutting tool and was cutting the door, I started vibrating like a off balance washing machine on the spin cycle! Thank goodness no one but my son was able to see that! Anyway, the cat boxes are now in th… Read how I did it…
I had a dream last night where someone spoke to me in Spanish. I didn’t completely understand it, but it was definitely spanish. I wonder if it counts if my subconscious is doing the brushing.
It is wonderful! We sampled the wares today (mid afternoon, which made for a very productive rest of the day) and it was so smooth and lemony! Yay! Will bottle for gifts.
