Magic Blanket Challenge DISASTER!

It's so sad, I had a few brilliant ideas this week and nothing came to pass.

Project #1: Put on all of Talia's Girl Scout patches.
Should have been easy enough, all you have to do is iron them on right? Apparently not. I had all the patchs out, borrowed the iron from a friend, and made myself a little carpet picnic. I was really to start ironing!!! One minor problem, turns out you have to sew the dang things on! Project #1 destroyed. (yes I know I could have drove to the store and bought the special iron on adhesive stuff or sewn them on with my invisible sewing machine that I don't know how to work).

Project #2: Gather all pictures and make photo books.
This was a 3 step process:
First I had to travel all the way across the street to Whitney's to get all my St. Thomas and Cancun pictures off of her computer. After realizing that I couldn't upload them to the Costco site we burned them onto a CD. Step 1 completed...feeling very hopeful at this point.

Second, must download photo book software (which says it's for Windows systems only, but my MAC is awesome and made it work). Then I needed transfer pictures from the CD onto my computer. Easy enough right. Made it thru one CD, and half way thru the next before major malfunction happened with the monitor. After turning it on and off in attempt to bring the picture back, it stopped working all together. No monitor = no upload = no photo books.

Third step in process demolished by disaster in step 2.

So none of my projects were completed; however, I have a couple great things to do now that I wouldn't have even thought of doing a week ago. I'd have just sent the patches to my dad to sew on, and the pictures would have remained on the computer for life. Plus, now I get to go shopping for a new monitor that will be bigger and better than before!

I was able to dye Whitney's hair for her challenge though. I even used my super human skills and did her whole head with one bottle!!! She has horse hair and it always takes 2 bottles, so I feel like I at least accomplished something.
