Creative Update

I'm currently decoupaging a medium size coffee can for my mom.  It's going to be an indoor pot for a plant (I don't have any Outdoor Mod Podge).  It's her birthday next month. I've been doing a little embroidery on Beth's hot pink apron.  When I was in Olympia last I bought some more supplies, including crayons and fabric (evil chuckle commences).  Yes, I have plans!  I should probably finish the projects I've started.  There is an embroidered leaves on napkins project next to my living room chair.  Each one has a simple leaf design.  Already finished two. Will post pictures soon. Found a laminating machine on Amazon for only $40 plus the laminating sheets are another $15.  I can't really justify it right now.  What do you think?  It cost about $6.50 the last time I had my bookmarks laminated at Staples.  What would you laminate if you had a laminating machine?  Crafting is a total stress release for me.  I've had a stressful week.  Got into it with my best friend. *sigh*  I think I'm making a habit of creating when I'm upset.  Not a bad strategy at all.
