I spent all day in the city trying to get stuff for a gift for a baby shower that I found out about LAST night, that is tomorrow. Sure the baby is a month old already, but that's not the point - I knew about the shower but nobody specifically said I was invited until last night.
SO anyway...I'm like, well I'll decorate a paint can and whip up some onesies and then they'll have something that they can't get from someone else. So off to the city we go to get some onesies and iron transfer paper and then I decided to make those cake ball thingies too because I'm supposed to bring something to eat as well. Well at M's, the paint can looked too small, so I thought I'd just go get one at Home Depot. Except HD only has the really big ones, which is WAY too big for 3 little onesies! I decided though that I'd rip apart one of the paint cans I've got in my office so I'd have something to put it in.
Also, the EHD where all my kits are is not working right now so I'm like...oh well, I'll just buy the kit again that I want to use...I'd already bought it (and used it) but I just paid the $10 again for it, no biggie.
So I get to work ironing these babies on...the first one doesn't look like it worked quite right, so I put the backing on in again and ironed it for a few more seconds. OK, well THAT wasn't the right thing to do...it lifted half of it off! Grrr...so I'm down to 2 onesies as the gift (because the SMART thing to do would have been to buy a couple packages in case I screwed up, but I didn't think of that until I got home). The second one turned out kinda cute...the one on the butt would probably come off in the wash but I thought if it set for a bit it would be OK. Then I did the 3rd one and the transfer on the butt tore a little and then the big one on the front TOTALLY screwed up! :(
I'm just going to skip the shower. I can't go without a gift, and have nowhere to get something before 1pm tomorrow. Besides that, the cake balls will probably turn out like crap.
Someone PLEASE tell me why I bother with this stuff. It never works for me. :(
I'm going to go to bed and read for the rest of the night. Cause now I'm grumpy, lol.
