I conquered the box!!!

Today in class we did activities (occupations if you will) to observe and reflect on their meaning. It was great! I decided to try my hand at woodworking and created a little wooden box. It was fantastic. I had problems getting it nailed together though, so that took a long time, but I did it! I felt very accomplished because I did it all myself and didn't have anyone do any of the parts for me. I considered giving this box to someone as a gift, but I just can't part with it. It was hard to make and I want to just admire it all the time. I told my friend I was going to take it to class everyday and set it on the table beside me, so I can just look at it. We decided however that this may be deemed a little strange by my peers and thought it best not to actually bring it to class. Don't be surprised someday though when I have a picture of it posted somewhere!

    Wow, that is quite exciting. I wish I was crafty like you. Seems like you could have the potential to be Omish or work in Santa's Workshop.

    I took woodworking for a year in 4-H. However I didn't make anything exciting like a box. Unfortunately I quit after just one year, before I could make anything cool like boxes or furniture, because I hate hate hated sanding :)
    And Friend, I would love to see you dressed up as an elf in Santa's workshop! You'd look hot in those fun curled-toe shoes.

    Way to go Buggie! Maybe you should take a picture of it and carry it with with. Then, when ever you are feeling a little down or frusterated, you could sneek a peak at the pic!

    yeah i the idea about carrying around a pic. You can keep it in your wallet like people do pictures of their family. maybe wear your elf clothes and be in the picture with it.

    Do you want to know something really funny? You and another one of my friends has the same format on your blog. So today, I thought I was looking at your blog and was very confused by the title of the post. It was "Bustin out my inner Muslim feminist". Clearly...this isn't something you would be blogging about. Thought it was funny and wanted to tell you what a turd I am!!! Love, Schpike
