I’ve been struggling to find the words to describe what’s going on with me and mine this week, so I gave up the fight and got out the craft supplies.

Halloween has arrived at the Bradley abode! Wondering what to do with that old, flat, no-one-will-ever-use-again pillow? Grab a few big buttons and some white tulle, add a gentle breeze, then say hello to Ghostie Bradley.

Remember those odds and ends you’ve saved from past craft projects – supplies too good to toss out, but not enough of any one thing to make a complete project? Grab a glue gun and some cheap wooden frames, and put those things to use. Michael’s arts and crafts store has small wooden letters for .89-cents each – just think what your front door could say!

(sigh) If only glue dots and scissors could make something cute out of the odds and ends from my crappy week.
