that paper

i think it might be cursed. this is the fifth attempt at making something with it. and really, lets be honest, i didnt make anything. i cut a big rectangle and attached it to a clear vase with some double stick tape. done. have i ever told you that i love double stick tape? love it. ever since i worked at the paper source and wrapped presents "professionally". awesome. but a word of advice, always get permant not that semi-perminant crap. it will just make you swear. and the thinner the better i say, i always get scotch 1/4 inch. i have rolls of it scattered around the house. it drives everyone crazy because if i see it in little hands i freak out and try to say as calmly as possible, "that is mommy's special tape, here use this {dumb single sided} tape". maybe i should put them away... i certainly did not mean to digress on tape. but back to the curse, i keep trying all these simple, "fast" projects and they just keep backfiring on me. i think because i barely even pause to use my brain, much less apply any sense of quality. and there my friends is the rub. quality. it always boils down to quality. because the better the quality, the better the item. it doesnt mean money, it means care. i need to take more care with my projects and slow down. way down. which is so hard. i know it. if i want any sort of sleep at night, i have to cram my crafting into the two hour window after 8:30. so things take more than one night to finish. ok. i can handle that. because i would rather like it than trash it. maybe i should clarify that this lecture is to me. thanks for listening.
