There are still a few things on my to-do list, but I'm happy with everything I accomplished.
What did you think of Brave? I've been hearing mixed reviews - some say the main storyline is never properly resolved, some say the climax is too scary for kids. Any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what did you paint your boots with? Is it permanent?
Brave is really good, but it definitely is scary. I wouldn't recommend it for small kids. (My niece is 8 and she said it was really scary, but it also involves people being mean to an animal, which she always finds really disturbing - other kids her age who aren't as sensitive in that area might be fine.)
ReplyDeleteI used acrylic craft paint on the boots - I hope it will be permanent. :)
How (or where) did you recycle your old cassette tapes?
ReplyDeleteConnie, Computer Recyclers takes cassette tapes (but they do charge for recycling them - I think it's $1/pound).
ReplyDeleteYay, someone takes them! I checked online and couldn't find any place that would take them. Thanks Colette!
