Dear Dollar Deer

I think, if I had tried hard enough,
I could have left this paper mache
deer right there at Goodwill.

I think visions of creative mantlepiece
decorating and beautiful blogging
as well as
I-never-would-have-thought-of-that
crafting
danced before my dazzled eyes.

What does it matter that I have no
mantel and no decorating blog.
or that my house is such a mess
that crafting has become
problematic? 

After all, how many dreams can be
bought at a thrift store
for one dollar? :)
