I know, I know. I'm fairly certain that I had designated Monday's to be Pinterest day, and here it is, Tuesday. Just getting going and already a day late. This unfortunate tardiness was the fault of Mike and Herb (who I naturally wish to call "Erb" until I, once every 5 minutes, have to explain to myself that he is a guy, not a leaf of basil). Mike and Erb Herb are the 2 gentleman who were whipping our rears at 500 last night during the monthly card club game, which takes place in the basement of a local catholic church.
Never mind that RW and I are the 2nd youngest pair in this card club (Karen and her sister have us beat in that category). But think about it. If RDub is 56, I am 40, and we are among the youngest there... oh - and we still get beat just about every month. I guess we don't yet have the... lifetime experience... of our competitors.
So here we are, on Tuesday, for Monday's Pinterest project. Got all that, or are you as confused as I am? This weeks project was this. I thought, even though I'm not terribly practiced in the whole "crafty-do-it-yourself" arena, that I could probably give it a shot.
My phone-charger-holder-thingie started it's long and smooth-but-not-greasy life as a Lubriderm lotion bottle:
I know how impressed you must be at the fabulous lighting in that picture. Yup, photography is just so my thing. Ha.
I took a little bit of time to cut out the shape, but let's face it, not quite enough time, as mine ended up a bit kitty-wonkus. Don't bother looking that one up in the dictionary, I am pretty sure it's not there.
After it was cut out/up (whatever!), I hauled out some card stock and Mod Podge and went to work. Mr. Lubriderm bottle was reborn, and my (retro) phone went from frying on top of the radiator...:
to charging like a civilized phone:
Again, the lighting. I know. And those shadows are so artfully composed, don't you think?
All in all, a relatively successful Pinterest week, don't you think?
