I made a decoration for my car! I found this clear cd packaged with a bunch of recordable/rewriteable cds I bought. I’m not sure why they felt compelled to include a clear cd, but I decided I might as well do something creative with it. I used sharpies, elastic wire, stickers, and a quote from On the Road< by Jack Kerouac.
Dangling against my wall.
So you can see it better, against paper.
“…because the only people that interest me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yearn or say a commonplace thing… but burn, burn, burn like roman candles across the night.” - Jack Kerouac

You do all this big talkin’: Quote book
I decided to do something with one of my extra journals I had lying around that my friend bought for me awhile ago (when I looked at it in a store and went ‘ooh pretty’).
More photos of the quote book beneath the cut…
(more…)

So tired today- not my best work- really just 20 minutes- but states 3 days at a conference!

Change Your Mind…
I was dumbstruck to find out that Illinois had no free coin-counting machines. And by dumbstruck, I mean severely hurt…. I’ll be damned if I have to pay money to have my money counted. In NY, I could walk into Commerce Bank and use their coin machine for free! It’s blasphemy I tell you! Sigh. So, I’m back to resorting to coin rolls. How boring. And thus, have the tedious task of dumping all my remaining coins at the end of the day into my coin jar. Because, really, carrying around $10 worth in coins is not worth it.
So, I decided to spiff up my coin jar a bit. Make it more festive and pleasing to me.
Before:
Yes, I do like my pasta sauce jars.
Soaking it in hot water to remove the label.
get the paints ready… and….
Add some spiffy stickers…
And voila, you’ve got one spiffy coin jar.
Cha-ching.

Ha, I managed to do two things today before noon! 
First, I took a quote from a friend of mine that was part of a recent group conversation and printed it pretty and put it into a matte-board. The quote is “May our children never more be storage space for our rage.” I used card stock to cover the back and then glued refrigerator magnets to the back so that this will now hang in the center of freezer door as a constant reminder. I was out with a friend the other night (yes, the night I fell) and found some pretty little stick-on silk flowers. I told her I didn’t know what the heck I needed them for, but I wanted them so I bought them. Well, now I know what they are for - they are in the corners of the matte-board for decoration. Pictures will be forthcoming this evening.
Second, I wrote a poem.
UPDATE: Picture of the (rather large, yes) refrigerator magnet/quote

Oh boy, did I ever bite off more than I could chew today, even with it being a Saturday!
I neglected to mention that before I could print and frame, I would have to research imagery and design the 15 inserts.
Needless to say - incomplete, however all 15 pieces are now designed. This is a sampling of the centerpiece.
Therefore, for day 10, I will do what I said I would today - print and frame the pieces.
