Card Wallet Returns!
My original card wallet had an accident, and came to its very much unfortunate demise. It had served me well, with unquestionable loyalty until the day I left it in my pants. The poor wallet was tossed around like a pack of playing cards in the great hurricane that occurred in the washing machine. i then had no choice but to stoop down to the level of the average person and carry around a NORMAL wallet. Oh the humiliation I suffered! One day, I realized I would not be able to continue like this any longer. Therefore I decided to recreate the card wallet once more, better than ever! Driven by my ambitious thirst for power, I set to work on the creature. And I succeeded. Ohh yes, it is back.. and it is ALIVEEE!!
Ok, sorry.. got a little carried away there.. :p

Lit Glass Angel Birthday Present
It was my sister’s (Simran Kaur) birthday on Dec. 31 st (thats right, New Years Eve!) and I figured I would get her something nice this year, because she always buys me stuff. There was this small glass Angel figurine that caught my eye at a store, and I remembered my sister really likes angels, so I bought it for her. It wasn’t that expensive though, and it didn’t feel like that was enough. So I started to make a base for it. I had an idea that it would look great with a light under it. I punched a hole in an Altoids can and put an LED through it, and batteries inside. Then I cut an opening on the side for a switch. I found an old makeup mirror and I glued that on top, after drilling a partial hole in it to let the light through. After that I spray painted the whole thing gold, to match the halo on the angel. Finally I printed a little note, laminated it and glued it to the bottom of the base. Now its on display at her house! Here are some pictures:
