Arts and Crafts

I had a little time mid day today and thought I'd do some bedazzling on my corkboard (that I built into a frame and then ignored for a week). I had ordered a new glue gun, since the one I have had for years was kind of dead. Wouldn't charge, wouldn't heat. DED Dead.

The glue gun arrived and today I was all psyched to use it. I charged it, I put glue sticks in it, and it all backed up out the opening where you put the glue sticks into the body of the gun. 

Dafuq? I hate you. 

I read the instructions, I didn't do anything wrong. But. The troubleshooting guide said that a certain size of glue sticks needs to be put in, and that is 0.43. Nothing on the boxes (and, I have many) of glue sticks said what size my sticks are but OBVIOUSLY they ain't the right size. 

Damn. 

So I ordered some 0.43 sized sticks from the actual manufacturer of this glue gun, and hey - if you have a freaking glue gun and want 9,000 glue sticks, I've got your hook up. 

Waiting now for the hopefully right sized glue sticks to show up. 

Still don't have a desk setup downstairs anyway. 

I strung up some tiki lights on the mantle and added cute little party shades that should go over bulbs on a string of lights. I also have hot chili pepper bulb covers and more tikis too. I should pull out one of my strings of white lights and get everything looking pretty. 

It's almost time. It isn't fully time until the Sunday after Thanksgiving, but we can at least get the strings of lights organized and all. To coin a phrase, thinking about starting to think about getting ready. 

I decided to go for a Toffee walk while it was still light out and we got home just as it was starting to get dark. She was very into all the cats and squirrels we saw along the way. I think I like walking her in the dark better! 

Linda and I had a chat while I ran on the treadmill, and I got plenty of steps in to make up for yesterday! 

No picture again, I had hoped to have one of my bedazzled corkboard, but. Nope.
