One box gone

Today's icon is especially for [livejournal.com profile] gamera_spinning. *mwah!*

I took my old (some of them very old) Disney VHS tapes to Half Price Books last night. I might've gotten a teeny bit more for them on eBay, but it wasn't worth the time to do so. Fifteen minutes in Half Price Books and I left with five new CDs and $28 in my wallet. Good enough.

Armed with new music and a train case of paints (which didn't get used at all), I descended upon [livejournal.com profile] bestill's art house where we Made Art for a few hours. I started my very own visual journal and got about halfway done with my first two-page spread. It's very pretty, although I think I might paint over/cover up one part. That's a nice thing about collage. Mistakes don't require a long time ripping out stitches or seams.

I very much want these particular alphabet stamps in at least two different sizes (the "special" size and size 3), but I'm trying very hard to get the last few thousand of my credit card paid down as soon as possible so I can move on from that already. Ugh. Never again.

Anyway.

Now to get rid of some more of these shoes. Hopefully [livejournal.com profile] roya_spirit will be able to take some away this evening. I have an opportunity to shed some old fabric stash next weekend, but I need to find a carpool candidate to make it worth the trip to KC. No point in selling off fabric if the profits get eaten by gas money.

Whittling. One box at a time!

Hmmm, what all are you excising? I'm on the lookout for anything dance-esque, especially stuff to make stuff out of (beads/fabric/trim etc).

Would you be willing to get together with me and help me get a grip on what looks good on me? I'm trying to get serious about dancing and it's requiring mad skillz I do not possess..

I'm mostly getting rid of garment fabrics, not costuming stuff. Sorry!

I'd be happy to work with you on ideas, but my life is a little crazy right now. Email me and we can talk scheduling, but it probably won't be this month...
