I got them at Michaels. They are a little bigger and a little different looking than the Kmart ones but they are close enough. Also, they don’t have to be baked 5 minutes at a time. The paint doesn’t peel off on these when it gets hot. Woohoo! It makes it so much easier to cure them. Because they are a little bigger I’m putting a bit more detail on them but I’m not going to charge any more. They will still be 3 for 12.00. They only had this style in red, gold and green, but I may try using some alcohol inks to change the color on some of them. I may be able to get a purple or blue that way. I don’t think Kmart is going to have them this year.
I’m hoping to sell some really quick so I can give the landlord at least some of the rent I owe. I’m still hoping that one of the jobs I’ve applied for will pan out. I’d love to get a part time regular job to supplement the art income. My physical problems are going to be a stumbling block but that’s just something I have to deal with.
I still need to call the local mental health center, because I need to change my anti depressant. I’ve been on Zoloft for 12 years and it just isn’t working as well as it should. I get social anxiety and that makes it tough to go out looking for a job.
I was feeling pretty hopeless this morning, but I managed to work through it, mostly because I just sat down and started decorating bells. Creativity is good medicine.
