So, I am still plodding along, cleaning out the storage closet upstairs. I did say this would be a week long project. If I didn’t say it, I was A) too busy crying or 2) I was trying to figure out why I had bought a bag of rocks when I have a yard full of them.
Anyway, as I kept digging out crap and boxes and bags of forgotten loot I found treasure!!
How cool is that?? I had no idea that was in there. Probably a good thing, too, considering how my kids think outside the box. No telling where they would have “grown” them. Like in the toilet tank.
I also found a huge latte mug with the words “Chocolate Lover” on it (have no idea why I own such a thing…), a battery-operated piggy bank (Son had two and kept one in the box), and a weird glass vase that belongs to Eldest. Oh, and I also found three Coachβ’ handbags. Hand-me-downs from my sister. I love it when she cleans out her closet. I wish she would do it more often.
So far that is from two shelves thus cleared out. I have…. *mentally straining to count*…. six more shelves to go. And the floor. Can’t forget the floor.
Something tells me a match would have been a better choice π

I love crystal growing kits!!!! You lucky duck. I grow those puffy crystals on a charcoal briquet every summer. π It’s the only reason I own bluing.

Should I wait to make them until y’all come for a visit???

Now, if you open the box, and find out that the crystals have already decided they’ve waited long enough and started growing on their own….THEN you have problems.

As long as they aren’t looking back at me, it should be fine π

Whatever you do, do NOT feed them after midnight.

Space age crystals! Were they on the shelf next to the magic beans you traded the cow for? π
January 17th, 2013 at 8:58 PM
No beans, just a bag of rocks… π

Treasure hunting. It’s like a time capsule without all the construction and deconstruction they do with the cornerstone dealios.
Last summer, 2011 one, I emptied some boxes that had been packed and untouched since I moved from Texas in 1999. three boxes were books. Better than finding old VHS or DVDs. π
