It wasn’t me…

"It's not my fault, Mom!"

My Queen Creek friends decided to have Craft Day.  Hmm... crafts are not my favorite thing.  I don't like doing the work and it never turns out how I envision the end product.  So, I would rather go spend a little extra money on a finished product that I know I'll love.  Well, today was not about making the craft. It was about gathering with my friends and making the craft: a birthday board.  And it was an adventure.

First, we had to sand down the wood.  Eee. Uh. (squinty face!)

I hate the texture of wood before it's sanded.  I hate the sound of sanding.  I hate sand paper.  Plus, I'm a perfectionist.  I want all the edges to look and feel superb.   Not a good combo.

I survived.

Next, we painted our boards. I didn't mind that.  I like painting.  For the most part.

Third, we applied the vinyl phrases we had pre-ordered.

Then, we tried drilling the holes for our attaching birthday circles.  That's as far as we got today.

What do you think?

The kids even had a good time. I think.
