In my scrapbook space I have both lighting fixtures up and running now. Both Home Depot fixtures came with halogen bulbs, one had 4, one had 3. Each fixture’s group of light bulbs had one dead. One was DOA, one died less than a minute after turning on the fixture. Subsequent bulbs replacing them have worked thus far (quite a few days.)<\/p>\n
With light in the space now I can see to do things. It’s quite amazing. I’ve done embellishment work, also shared the space with my 11 year old daughter doing things together. What I mean by “embellishment work” is making little things to put on pages.<\/p>\n
Stamping, Powder Embossing, cutting, Sticker-afying (Xyron Create-a-Sticker 150), Glitter Gel Pen-afying, Metallic Gel Pen-afying, Glaze Pen-afying, Liquid Embossing, etc.<\/p>\n
Not making anything on purpose, just what appeals to me at the moment looking through my box of clear stamps (which I have a nice kit to put together to make THAT job easier, something I should do now, but want to do when I have things in better order and cleaned up more than everything is now.)<\/p>\n
I can’t spend much time online, or crafting right now though because we are ripping out the old livingroom floor and will be installing Heart Pine 5″ wide flooring soon. It’s a job that is tough, and takes a lot of sheer will power, not even thinking of physical energy. Hubby is gone for a few more days, and that makes it easier to do this, as well as harder at the same time. So it’s mostly me and my 14 year old son doing the demolition, and trying to get the other three to not make a mess anywhere, clean up and do regular chores and help when we ask for it, something that they can do. It’s harder to get them helping than anything, and also it’s hard to force anyone to spend a huge time tearing out flooring, without long breaks.<\/p>\n
I didn’t sleep well for a couple of nights in a row, then finally last night I got a good nights sleep. Maybe I’ll be better equipped to get the rest of the floor out today, it’s the worst part, any furniture there now has to move, it’s about half or more of the room. Piano & all the new wood are on one side, audio\/video equipment connected to wall hanging LCD flat screen. So I’ll have to disconnect everything and move it and then figure out where to put anything else, coffee table, chair, thing, things. I already have some other stuff lined up on one side of the kitchen. It’s just a big fat mess. That piano is going to be a big …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
