Googley Eyes!

As you may know, my friend Katherine and I have a longstanding joke about Googley eyes.

It all started in the Summer of 2003 when Kat made me a lovely picture frame out of popcicle sticks and googley eyes that melted in the back window of my car forever leaving hot glue and googley eyes behind.

A few years later, I moved to Seattle and started making my own art projects for her, so that she will never forget the Great Google Incident of 2003.

Really, it's just been fun coming up with new and creative ways to impress cat with my Googley Eye Skills.

This year for Christmas, in collaboration with her husband and mine - she received a very special Vest.

And, I didn't think I'd ever top the vest because it was Tim's original idea, and we pulled it together so nicely, but alas, I did not stop the search, I found myself on Pinterest... and landed on this idea...

Now, I knew I had to be sneaky, because Kat and I run about the same hours and I didn't want her to catch me in the act. So I texted Tim and sent him a picture of the idea and asked him if I could do this the next time Kat was out of town. His response was a resounding YES - but also, that they were leaving for a weekend trip to Treasure Island, and that I could do it any time before Tuesday evening.

So, Monday evening, I armed myself with Hot Glue and my container of eyes, and headed to their house with Eric.

And I managed to "eye" every single condiment, and some major foods in their fridge.

Kat thought it was hillarious... I am pretty proud of the results... it makes me smile!
