2017.23 Day Drinking and Crafting Day 5

The fifth and last of my 5 day drinking and crafting videos! This one features picture frames! A super loquacious Matthew! Rumchata shots! I am wearing a knitted scarf that accentuates the roundness of my face in a particularly unflattering way. At about the 1:10 mark I troll my unpaid intern about his school picture habits, and while you don’t see the look he shot me, you get to see my reaction look.  Mermaids! Tropical trees! I reference this amazing craft from 2012. Matthew says a fancy French word. I do an extreme amount of unnecessary gesturing. Seriously, you would think I was trying to scare away birds.    This is the video of me making the frames we used for the party and that I explained here.

***Plus as an added bonus you can hear me explain for the millionth time that glue dries what? Oh yes, clear…


And you get to hear what Matthew gets out of all of this.

2017.22 More! More! More! Episode 4

Day Drinking and Crafting Day 4

I think I may have gotten this editing thing figured out.  If only I had figured it out before Christmas, but whatever. Also, honestly, every time I hear myself say “in any case…” it is like nails on the chalkboard.

The craft is a simple one, but I am giving up some major holiday secrets in this one. There is plenty of Matthew talking, a Devil Wears Prada reference, a Sesame Street reference, and we all discover I’ve no clue how to sign off on these.


Talk to you later? What? What?


2017.21 Day Drinking and Crafting Episode 3


More Crafting! More Drinking! More Daylight! So I think I *may* have figured out my video editing problem. Knock wood. And if so then the rest of these videos will be uploaded shortly in this seamless format.

Here is what you can expect on this video-

Shots! Shots! Shots! (Know your limits! I might not actually know mine)

What is our craft? What are we doing? Why does the video suddenly get blurry?

#ShoutOut to Mrs. Swinney! And …don. Don. DON… The reason unpaid interns are useless.

Boom! Internet magic.  Then I talk about Love Actually, Emma Thompson, Heather Cook, Modge Podge, and cute little tricks. Plus, the story behind my favorite song, some unexplained banging, I almost tell the frozen banana Boy Scout story, and a clever Frozen reference.


I save you from actually watching glue dry with more Internet MAGIC,   Although, with the length of this video you never know.  Also is anyone else sick of hearing me say “in any case?” worst vocal tic ever.  Plus  I will remind you for the millionth time what happens when glue dries and I coin the phrase ‘closet crafter.’  Then basically I just ramble on and on, until I am finished with the craft, but maybe not the drinking.

efore anyone points out that I am already behind, I know, believe me, I know.  I’m not offering excuses, today, but just letting you know, I...
