I just skinned my knee today tripping over my CraftCrate. I don’t know how I didn’t see it, but it made me think of a wonderful scrap page filled with “ouch” moments in my life. There’s the skinned knee of today…I’ll probably put that at the top because it was my inspiration “ouch”. And then there’s the time I accidentally mistook the spray adhesive for my Aquanet hairspray. After trying to run my brush through my hair…Ouch! And my biggest ouch, to date, was when I was attacked, by the highly neurotic Marcile, in our Wednesday Night: Scrap Delight get together. She thought that I was rude because I wouldn’t eat her stupid brownies. Helloooo! I was doing the Atkins Diet! But there was no convincing her and she got so bent out of shape, (she HAD to have had other drama going on in her life…maybe she was really insecure about her talent at making brownies…I don’t know), but she jumped me and nearly killed me with paper cuts. Thank goodness Gloria never leaves home without her Z-force stun gun. Before that wacko could saw me down to the bone with her orange-brown construction paper (ugh, by the way), Gloria zapped her with 100,000 volts. Bottom line: ouch!

It’s just so wonderful how even the painful moments in our lives can fill a colorful page. Even if it does take some tears to do it.

Incidentally, I did end up trying on of Marcile’s brownies. I just felt so bad that the rest of the night she spoke with a slur and couldn’t cut a straight line.
