Candy Wrapper Purse Day 1
Ok so yesterday I measured and cut out strips from an old Collections Etc magazine I had. And then I had to go to the store for some waterproofing tape. Anyway I completed about 1 1/2 rows yesterday and I think all the strips I cut out and folded will make about 3 to 4 rows. Here is what they look like: Sorry for the bad pic but I had to use my cell phone to take the picture.

Candy Wrapper Purse
Has anyone seen these? I think they are just so cute! (Pics taken from yahoo search) But to go out and buy one could cost you over $100.00 USD! YIKES! So I searched through our all favorite Youtube and found instructions on how to make one! So that's what I am going to be doing. Though as I don't really eat candy or chips and those do not have those materials I have found ones made from magazines even! So time for me to dig out those old magazines and turn them into something useful! Don't worry ladies, no Cross Stitch magazines will be harmed in the making of this purse. Interested? Here is the link on how to fold each page and the best video i have found yet on connecting them all. I'm using the 11 cm by 5 cm sizes btw.
How to Fold each piece.
How to put it all together
I'll post pictures later on in the week of my progress

I know I have been absent
I know I have been absent but I haven't been in the mood to craft anything. Plus now I am sick thanks to my sister Heather. She visited this weekend on her way to Las Vegas NM to hand her son over to his father who gets him for 2 weeks and in two weeks she will stop here again. But this past weekend she asked if I would watch my 4 month old niece for the day while she handed her son over. Little did I realize my poor niece had a nasty head cold and so it was passed on to me to which Sunday morning i already had symptoms and by Monday morning I felt like hell on earth.
Then to add to my misery I had pain in my back left tooth. Luckily the dentist pulled it this morning and so I am much better to that too.
Oh and the best part yet is my FIL messaged me on FB saying we should get an envelope today and to use it well. SO I was like ok thanks. Then he threw himself a pity party because his son my DH is too busy to call him. SO I asked why don't you (FIL) call your son (my DH) to which he is the dad and has done his time! OMG he thinks raising his son was a prison sentence!!!! I was so pissed!!! Then he tried to say my DH was a leach because we sent him an xmas gift list that my FIL had ASKED us too!!! And I had put on there that they are only getting the list because he wanted it because we did not expect one thing from them!!
Anyway, needless to say I am no longer speaking to him! What a fucking asshole!!! Sorry for my language.
