My first step was to designate the stockings. I figured it would give the glitter glue the maximum amount of time to dry. I'm not sure if I've ever used glitter glue before last week. Back in my day, we used Elmer's glue if we wanted a sparkling statement, then sprinkled the glitter on top and let it sit. Nowadays it's apparently all about convenience. As if there were something wrong with pieces of glitter stored in places unknown for all eternity.
My first hint that I was using too much glitter glue came when I used an entire tube writing "Jes." My second hint was when I dropped Jesse's stocking, glitter glue down. I pulled the stocking away unscathed. The floor was not as lucky. I've always been a little heavy handed.
Then it was time for the tree. It was a perfect fit in the phone-indent. The lights were not. They were meant to go around a real tree, and were therefore quite long. I wrapped them around the tree, but they were too heavy. Logically my next step was to grab a hammer and nails and make a way to hang them. I added nails for the stockings while I was at it. I was also careful not to hit any of the little Buddhas Jesse brought home randomly. They're happily basking in the glow.
You are such a little homemaker! Haha my apt doesnt have a light, a tree, a stocking...it could be July!
