So...my fail is all wrapped up in this...
Ahhh the Ballard Bee...I have been oogling over it for the past 6 months. Yet, it continues to elude me...sneaky little thing...
Well, a couple of weeks ago I visited a rummage sale where I got 3 of these frames for $1.00.
Imagine my surprise when I dismantled the clips and found this inside. *Disclaimer: I apologize to whomever this grandpa belongs to...but I must paint over him. Don't hold me accountable...its a disease.*
So, I did what any crafter would do (you would wouldn't you? I'm not the only heartless one that would paint over someones grandfather am I?!?!?!??!) I painted...the Ballard Bee. Only when I was done...it didn't quite look like this:
Instead it looked like this.....
STOP LAUGHING!!!!! ;) Seriously, I know it is in line with something you would see in a preschool classroom...but I still had fun doing it! As for whether I will be hanging this anywhere in my house...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NO. I'll find something else to paint or decoupage over it...in the meantime, take a moment to relish in my epic failure :)
But Ballard Bee...you had better be on the lookout...I WILLLLLLLLL find a suitable way to knock you off...just you wait and see...I'll get you my pretty MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA (insert evil laugh).
Thanks for playing along today, and I hope you have a fantabulous weekend :)
I CAN NOT believe you painted over g'pa for that bee???!!!
ReplyDeleteHee hee! I am still laughing! Thanks for sharing reality and poor grandpa!!! I saw your post on Poppies at Play for Creative Cat!
ReplyDeleteYeah - I got a flub that will probably get shared next week...they happen to all of us...good try?! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought he was a cute looking bee, maybe you can find a bee template somewhere on the internet and use that for some inspiration for next time :)
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness! Your writing is so funny! Thanks for keeping it real!
ReplyDeleteI love those frames. Maybe a big pretty C in one of them for your friends :)
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out fine.
ReplyDeleteBut I feel sorry for Grandpa.
Nikki, I thought I was the only one with craft fail! and I have it on a regular basis! LOL I feel like Thomas Edison "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
ReplyDeleteI think a linky party along these lines would be a lot of fun...and it will keep it real for all of us! :-)
Have a great weekend!
