bling!!!

at the friday meeting at work it ended up with much giggling, office space references, wishes for everyone to have their very own red stapler and christine and i daydreaming about having some blinged out staplers.  then i quickly jumped in and offered to bling out her stapler for her since i have tacky fake jewels.  i wanted to bling mine out too, but i took far long than i thought it would and mine will have to wait for a later weekend.

it started out as your average boring ass stapler:

my tools for the project:

fake jewels, one stapler and super glue. also included: remote controls for watching 5 or 6 episodes of NCIS in a row.

i had originally gotten the fake jewels years ago when bubba and i both still had out vw buses and were making our steering wheels and dashboards awfully pretty.  i miss my bus. *sigh*  i miss bubbs too. *double sigh*

the first glues:

getting there:

my hot cup of white pomegranate tea totally helped.

and the final product:

awwwww...shit!  i hope she likes it.  i sure do.  i gotta do mine.  i need some more solid colors and then i'm gonna go for it.  the next crappy weekend here will see some stapler action for me.  and the way this summer is going, that will be next weekend.  of course, i still have a bunch of sewing to do, so maybe i should get that done first!

ok...gotta go do my nails now.
