Apparently this is Flickr…

Sorry for all the photos, dear reader. I guess I’ve been rekindling a romance with my camera or something. Not really a romance with good photography…just the camera.

Tonight I decided that I needed to buy a frame for the little collage-type thing I made with my mom on Saturday. I made a plan to go to Michael’s right after work and I pretty much skipped out the door of the FMC at 5:00 today. So freaking excited…such a freaking dork. Anyway, I got to Klaus and made my way through traffic to 220 and then onward to the plaza of red stores (Target, Michael’s, Circuit City.) Seeing as I had to pass Target to get to my destination, I decided a little stop wouldn’t hurt…maybe I’d find a frame? 45 minutes later I emerged with no frame but $1.75 worth of the cutest tchotckes EVAH:

They are supposed to be chopstick holders, but fuck that. These fishes are on my coffee table because they are that adorable. Look at ’em for chrissakes!

So, then I went to Michael’s. Frames blow hard. All I wanted was something ceramic with a glossy cucumber glaze. No such luck. I eventually settle for wood and decided that I’d stamp it with gold Chinese lettering. The ONE stamp they had was $10.99…about $5 more than the frame. *scratches that idea* As I was giving up, I noticed some neat mosaic stickers in the exact colors that I needed. So, for $12, we have this custom frame:

I’m very proud of it…especially since it took me all of about 10 minutes to put together. What do you think?
