Hey there! It’s Char from Crap I’ve Made.
I’m not much of a blog swapper, but Michelle asked so nicely (“Pretty please with Cold Stone and a Gary Coleman on top.” — direct quote from her email) that I couldn’t resist. Plus, she knows where I live.
I never know quite what to say for these things because I’m a big old dork. The gist of it is that I’m a SAHM mom to 4 (1 girl then 3 boys). I craft because it’s cheaper than therapy and you don’t have to wear shoes. I’m a sew-er at heart, but I also love spray paint and Mod Podge and power tools.
I have a super, super, SUPER awesome giveaway starting Monday. Seriously awesome. Like a $500+ value. Did I mention it was awesome? Here’s a hint. Come see me to enter, if for no other reason.
What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon?
I have to go with my trusty sewing machine. I love that sucker. I also love FabriTac (glue guns and I have a sordid past), spray paint (Krylon or Rustoleum, please), and have developed a recent obsession with freezer paper (you can read about it here, here, here, here, and here or watch me talk about it on TV here). See? Obsessed.
What is your favorite summer treat?
Does Diet Coke count? Because I’m pretty sure if you took some blood right now, it’d be carbonated.
What is one of your goals you hope to accomplish soon?
Hmmmm. Can you tell Michelle is a YW leader or what??? Most of my goals right now revolve around getting the right services for my sweet 4 year old, Campbell, who was just diagnosed with Asperger’s. I’d also (always) love to drop a few pounds, quit swearing, be more organized, have more patience….
Thanks for having me, Michelle….now hand over the Cold Stone!

See why we became insta-friends at CBC?! She makes me laugh all day and she is like famous being on TV and stuff, which is cool. So, a big thanks to Char for swappin’ against her will. 😉 This calls for a chocolate dipped waffle bowl.

I’d never even heard of freezer paper!
I think when you go for your chocolate covered waffle bowls – I should tag along – I need a good laugh these days!
Char is AWESOME! I can’t believe I have to follow HER!
Those are all good goals, but let’s face it. Everything is bad for us nowadays. They’ve taken away drinking, sex, recreational drugs, prescription drugs, loud rock and roll … all that’s left is swearing. I’m keeping it!!!
Char, your Campbell is such a cutie!!
I found your blog through the Crap I’ve made blog. I love your blog. I also have a son with Asperger’s and a 7 yr old they think may have it. Your Campbell sure is cute. There are lots of articles on Asperger’s on the web that may help get you the help he needs. Keep up the fantastic work on your blog!
Favorite Summer treat- Caramel Topped Ice cream!!!
YYYuuuummm. If Im naughty ill even get chocolate sprinkles!!!
