I display new works in the class room and old one are in cabinet.
5. What is the funniest craft disaster you've ever had?
When I made a ’Twas the Night Before Christmas Stamp Mini Album sugar box, I used many difference glitter and it spread all over the room even in rest room too… then I found my husband foot were sparkling with rainbow color...He asked me to clean the house.
Tricky glitter! It always leaves a trail. Thanks for sharing with us, Yumi!
