I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. "Smile" and "VV" (Vintage Value) are the names of two thrift stores I regularly shop at. I grew up in Clifton Park NY but now live in Lusby, MD. I also lived in other exciting locales such as Schenectady, Watervliet (NY), and Charleston, SC.

Finally made the craft I mentioned in January
Back in January - this post to be specific - I mentioned I wanted to make a craft that I saw in Family Fun magazine. Well I got tired of looking at the two milk cartons I had saved for it so I made one yesterday. And then promptly threw away the second milk carton. What a piece of crap I made. That is why I don't do crafts. I bought a nice real wallet for $3 at Smile last week. Trying to neatly bend waxy cardboard into a nice accordion shape is a PITA. So that's why I threw out the other milk carton, no plans to make more.

I spent a little part of today trying to find Parenting magazine on the newsstands. There's an article in it (June edition) that I was interviewed for so I want to see it. Will have to check out some other stores to see if I can find it. The funny thing was, I was thinking it was Parents magazine (which is different).
Chris,
ReplyDeleteI think your wallet is neat and looks great. Good job! (I can totally see how that would be a major PITA to do, though!) Congrats on the magazine article as well!
