"This is Chantelle! She's the most creative person I know. Basically EVERYTHING she touches turns to gold."

I'm flattered that this is what someone might think of me, but I must confess to you, dear reader, that it could not be FARTHER from the truth. Exhibit A:

Last week, I was home by myself one evening. I remembered seeing something on Pinterest that I was intrigued to try. (More on my love-hate relationship with Pinterest later.) Have you guys seen the thing where people put crayons in a glue gun and make art? Well I thought it would be rad if I put a quote down on an old canvas I had, dripped crayon OVER it, and then peeled the stickers off. Good idea in theory, not so good in execution.

What Pinterest failed to tell me was that when you stick a crayon in a glue gun, it's not like a glue stick. The crayons get extremely runny, and if you force them through the gun too hard, they spray just like a liquid. I found this out the hard way. So did my walls. And counter. And back door...

 I was mad. I filed the project under "G", and spent the rest of the night with a spatula and a hair dryer scraping wax off my walls.
