My mom is a pen-junkie!
She would love your creations! Anyone recall all those darn lighted pens that were for sale all over the place a few years ago...? You know, click the top and the bulb lights up? She even has the plastic holder that you are using, TDinATL, to display them!
As for passing time, I know it's hard to have a different outlook right now, but try to appreciate that time is limited and should not be 'passed' just for the sake of it passing! I love what you are doing with your craft...I hope you are able to enjoy it as
time well spent rather than as a means of simply making time pass...
Thanks for the crafty inspiration!
