Boss Spends Ridiculous Amounts of Time Painting Things That Were Perfectly Fine Already

Actually, to be the "honesty" word here, Big One did all the painting.  Apparently Boss has Big One convinced that she is unable to use spray paint and so needs a man people.  I do not understand how she managed to convince Big One that spray paint is a very difficultness thing to do, but she did it.  And I saw the fist pump that Boss did after she said the "are you sure" words and the "wow, you are fantastic" words and the "maybe I will make some brownies" words.  Big One did not see the fist pump but he saw the tight shirt of Boss and heard the "brownie" word and of course took the wood things out to the shop and used the spray paint.  I am incredulousness at all of this but it appears that all of my peoples are happy so I am not going to be all judgement upon them.

If you are wondering what perfectly fine thing Boss needed painting, you might remember that Boss is a big fan of Stamp-n-Storage and has some of their wood organizer things for the scrappy stuffses that Boss has entirely too much of.  Boss has a decorative tape holder and a Distress ink holder that she made me blather on and on and ON about before (you can read that nonsense here).  Boss also has three half-height shelves (which maybe would make one-and-a-half full-height shelves but Boss says it does not work that way and will not be impressed at my mathiness) and two paper holders.  I know, right?  Ridiculousness.  And what is more ridiculousness is that Boss knew she wanted to paint them but did not do this right away.  So then she had to put everything in a big messy pile and do the painting thing in the wrong order.  Perhaps it was because she knew that there was no brownie mix in the house?  I will be betting that this is what the issue was.  This actually makes sense.

This is the floor of the shop of Big One.  He actually makes lots of things different colors with spray paint in this spot.  It is edgy and urban says Boss.  I say it is sloppy and stupid, but I am just a dog.  Oh, and Boss wishes to point out that the Distress ink holder from Stamp-n-Storage has dividers that come out easy if you want to trick your man peoples to paint them for you.  Just saying.
After the half-height shelves were painted, Boss put glue and fabric and more glue on top of them!  Yes, that is right.  If Big One sees this, he will be sadness that all the effort he put into painting these things was covered by girly fabric things.  What?  Oh.  He does not care, he says.  He is eating brownies and is great happiness.
The half-height shelves and the decorative tape holder thing from Stamp-n-Storage.  Do not be fooled by the words "decorative tape holder".  It is a washi tape holder.  Not impressed, are you?  No, I am not either.  Washi is ridiculousness and I will not be forgetting all the trouble I got into when I tasted only a small roll of washi.  It was not that good.  I do not understand why Boss was so angriness at me.  It is not like she was going to miss that one stupid roll or eat it herself.
Now Boss has trimmed off the extra fabric and put the shelves of half-height onto her table.  And has used an artistic angle in the photo.  I think it must be edgy and urban.  Or not.
Here is the good stuff of Boss all put back onto her shelf things.  Yes, Boss went shopping for coordinating boxes and baskets and other things that make my head hurt.  I CAN NOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO WRITE THIS NONSENSE.  SOMEONE CALL THE SPCA!!!!! 
Okay, this is the shelf that sits right in front of Boss.  I am all calmed down now.  I got pepperoni!  Yes, I did!  I am a good dog!  Yes, I am!  So I will be all happiness about telling you about the note paper, the favorite adhesive of Boss, a dancing flower from friend-the-deadly, paper clips, the favorite punch of Boss, and three boxes of various and numerous and multiplicitous journaling spots... and tags... and other things to write on.  Boss uses these things the mostest, so they are the closest.  This is something called "lean manufacturing" and Boss learned these somewhere-not-here, and it means making scrapbooking easier or some such nonsense.
This is the next shelf thing over.  Boss can still reach this stuffses, and uses these things often, but not on every pretty-paper-picture-page.  They are candy from friend-the-deadly (Boss says she appears to be quite nice but is actually quite scariness and dangerous), a book that friend-the-gazelle taught Boss to make, the tasty lip gloss, stapler, tape, and timer thing on the top.  On the next level down is glue dots, pop dots, and the make-anything-you-want-into-a-sticker-but-the-head-of-the-bat-crazy-cat-will-not-fit-no-matter-how-hard-you-try thing, and pens.  Pens which I am not allowed to touch at all.  No matter how tasty they are.  Then on the bottom of all this nonsense is small bang-the-hammer-loud things, a foamie thing, and small boxes of whatever.  I am tired of this caption.
A close up.  Oh, I forgot the pink rock.  Not tasty.
So this is the decorative tape holder thing that really is just a shrine for washi from Stamp-n-Storage.  If they only knew how craziness Boss was about this, they would not have made this and Boss would stop being so giddy all the time.  I have very sensitive ears and the squealing is excessive and over the top and too much and enough already.
Boss makes an urban and edgy camera shot again.
And another urban and edgy camera shot.  Of washi.  Come ON, peoples.  I mean, really???  Oh wait.  Boss says to see two things.  Boss says to see the pretty fabric.  Boss also says to see how nicely the washi sticks to the front of the shelf.  The paint is apparently marvelousness for this.  I am rolling my eyes.  I really, really am.

    1. It is too bad I am not able to mail packages from the post office without a lot of meanness about not being allowed in there unless I am a service animal. I tried it once but they say blogging is not really a service no matter how much Boss thinks it is or how cuteness I am. And I am quite cuteness. Because otherwise you have no idea how happy I would be to take all of the scrappy things of Boss and send them to you. Because then Boss would have lots and lots and LOTS of time to hunt grasshoppers with me.

  4. Boss is lucky to have a Big One and to have a dog to take care of the blog. Jealous of the well organized space and washi collection.

  5. My Boss said your Boss is one lucky people to find all these great organizers. And such a great job she did. If only my Boss would get cracking, I would be able to walk a straight line into the craft room without having to detour around all the "stuff" that has NO meaning to me.
    Great job!!!!

    1. I know, right? And if your Boss is like my Boss, just because they put their stuffses on the floor does not mean that it is for tasting. No. Not at all. Because that is when the trouble starts. And the frowny forehead face. And the loud "no" word!
