My latest DIY venture had some issues, I must admit.  I really thought I could make a Stamp a Ma Jig out of Legos but didn’t have them until this morning.  The problem I had was I was using smaller stamps with it and my fingers weren’t really proficient at placing the stamp directly down onto the Legos.  I think it was because of the small nubs that stick out of a Lego.   Anyway, it was my usual antics and the card was pretty cute even with the mistakes I made.

Sometimes I think my fails are more fun that my successes.  There is no drama or excitement when a project works well for everyone.  Remember when everyone watched “Wide World of Sports” when they always showed the ski jumper falling and said “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.”  I think every person stopped what they were doing to watch that skier fall because where was the thrill if he landed?  Maybe it’s why that “America’s Funniest Videos” television show has been such a success.  If someone slams a basketball that’s one thing, but if they slam the basketball, break the backboard and then land on another player, that’s television viewers want to see.

Because of my failures with projects on video, I have the potential to be the next big You Tube star, you never know.  Or not.  The agony of defeat.
