mark montano is my hero

yesterday was a red-letter day.

i opened my mailbox to discover that my impatiently-awaited copy of mark montano's newest book, The Big-Ass Book of Home Decor, had finally arrived!! let me just assert here that if you are a fan of having quirky things in your house that you made yourself, you and i and mark are all kindred spirits. i got mark's The Big-Ass Book of Crafts for christmas from my friend kendra and it has been a fantastic addition to my library. this is the kind of book that i spend hours poring over and planning how i can implement the ideas and projects into my own abode. so when i saw that he had come out with a sequel, well, i will honestly say i was about as excited as an eight-year-old at their birthday party when they find out that mom has gotten a bouncy castle.

i have several pages marked already for things i want to try. as soon as school is over for the semester i will be a crafting maniac! and of course i will share all the wonderful weird stuff i end up making with you all here on the blog.
