"I'm so Excited! I'm so... scared!!!"

"I'm so excited! I'm so... scared!!!"
If you are in my generation and grew up watching TV on Saturday mornings then you may recognize those words.
If you are not from my generation or if you were like my husband and grew up watching "Walker, Texas Ranger" and nothing else because you had only two channels, I will catch you up.
Those lines are from a very intense Jessie Spano in a thought provoking episode from the popular 90's TV show, "Saved by the Bell." In this episode Jessie chose to walk a path that many have walked. You see, Jesse was obsessively studying for her SAT's. In the midst of her studying she, Kelly, and Lisa had begun a singing group and were sitting on what could be "their big break." In an effort to try and juggle those two major tasks as well as a few others, Jesse turned to Caffeine pills. It was in her bedroom one night before heading to perform that Zach confronted Jesse about her addiction.
I have the youtube video below so that you can get the full picture.



I now find myself in the same proverbial boat that Jesse did. I can understand her excitement and fear.


I am an addict.



It all started so innocently. My friend Katie said, "Hey Crystal! Take a look at this!" And, like so many others, one look was all it took.
My drug?






Pinterest!


I love it! And like all addictions it has taken me farther than I ever expected. I have become a craft fiend! I have lost sleep, skipped meals, and ignored my household chores.
Instead, in the past week I have sewn, decoupaged, hot glued, and re-purposed with a vengeance.



Not only that, but like most addicts who go to far I have turned to dealing! I don't go anywhere that I don't talk about my new obsession and all the crafting that has followed.

So let me share with you now but, I warn you the following pictures may be too much to handle. They are a few examples of my recent craft rampage. You have been warned.




Table I re-purposed! Spray paint and modge podge.

New Hair clip flowers I've been making!
My old High Chair from when I was little- Before

All these ideas and so many more I found inspiration for on Pintrest!
