Is it cool to mention that I love white glitter? At my age, that might not be politically correct. Maybe it’s some kind of subconscious connection to the snow in Illinois or possibly it just reminds me of Christmas. In any case, I believe that no home should be without at least one, very large shaker.

During my shopping spree at Hobby Lobby this week I just happened to walk down the arts and crafts aisle and spied one of those honkin’ jars of MOD PODGE. My mom was a neat freak. There was never Mod Podge in my house growing up so I’ve always had this secret longing to stick my fingers in this stuff. Being my mother’s child and all, I did NOT go for the honkin’ jar but instead brought home two small jars: gloss and matte. I may have to put it under lock and key… Flower Child has been drooling over it since I got home.

I also bought a big paint brush. Not just for the Mod Podge, but because all of Flower Child’s brushes are small. Good for her, but I like BIG strokes. Come on… I’m an amateur. Big strokes are much easier. Okay, maybe not. But they just feel right to me.

Okay… there are bears singing STAYIN’ ALIVE on the television. My brain just shut off to process….
