Making it stick!

I was busy yesterday hanging a few pictures around the house. I seem to be more motivated to use my hammer now that I have my own Ladies Tool Kit -(This is not your ordinary tool kit! This is a 57 piece set of pink tools in a hard pink case!! They also have a soft case version. I love having tools that are my own….not Mikes! The case is cute enough to have handy – I don’t have to hide it away in the basement. That means my tools are always within reach…no more wooden spoons, high heeled shoes or butter knives for my jobs.) ! I love pulling it out to tackle my own projects!!

You know how one project seems to lead to another? I decided to straighten and re-wax all of the pictures going up my stairwell. I’m sure most of you are scratching your head right now and thinking “what is re-wax?”. I use Museum Wax (sometimes called earthquake wax) to keep all of my pictures straight. I have only ever purchased on .50 gram jar of this amazing stuff and I have had it forever. You only need a teeny tiny bit and you can reuse the wax. I don’t live in an earthquake zone….I have kids. Kids can recreate the effects of an earthquake just by walking up a flight of stairs.

BTW…I just I finished reading Running with Scissors by By Augusten Burroughs. This is an extremely weird book…the scary part is that it is a memoir! Has anyone read this? If so, did you find it disturbing? Have you seen the movie? Just wondering.
