Yikes. I was asked about a month ago to work on an album for an older lady to give to her granddaughter. Started gathering tons of cool ideas. Was getting kind of excited about the project and the prospect for a little bit of extra spending money. Boy was I sooo off.
Spent the morning at her house yesterday. She just wants me to basically paste a bunch of this girls' schoolwork, recital programs and school pictures into 3 albums! It's a lot of stuff, but she doesn't want any embellishments. Just cardstock, adhesive, and some little journaling boxes. Yikes. Sounds simple - right? NO WAY! She then proceeded to fill my trunk with the things she wants me to put into these 3 albums. Um - there is way too much stuff I tell her. Then she asks if she needs to buy BIGGER albums then? Um, no, I think 3 12x12 albums is plenty more than I can handle - let's not buy bigger. But then she tells me to take all the stuff anyway! What???
Why do I always agree to do lame projects?
