project planning



okay, so i'm in project mode. well, i'm in project planning mode. i have an end result i want to produce which are bowls made out of recycled paper, basically homemade papier mache. i haven't done a craft like this since i was probably four, but i found it in green crafts magazine and have a sneaking suspicion that i'm going to need practice, and a lot of paper.

which brings me to the series of projects at hand:

project number1: go through all ma junk and put all papers that need to be sifted through and sorted into one place. knowing me, upon doing this, i'll be fed up with the project because this will have taken up to 3 consecutive days...so i'm allowing this concept to be project number1 so that i'll stay interested and not totally bail.

project number2: divide the inevitably gigantic pile of papers into two categories. file, shred. again, to keep me from totally bailing because my concept of "overwhelmed" is so easily magnified, that's all i have to do. this will take me an entire day btw.

project number3: file all the things that need to be filed. shred all the things that need to be shredded.

project number4: begin reusing all of the shredded paper bits to make homemade papier mache bowls to hold the goodies i'm planning for christmas/hannukah/solstice presents for all of my friends!

i'm excited and busy hidey-holeing all the paper in my house that isn't a bill or a poem or invitation of some sort.
