For the last two years, I have decided to burn something with my woodburner as a gift to someone. And for the last two years, I have run into an incident that I am absolutely convinced causes cancer. Last year I accidentally burned some of the carpet on the floor.....unknowingly, while making the gift....all the while inhaling the burning carpet fumes.
This year, I was burning "treasure boxes" for all of my new nieces and my new nephew and I decided to paint part of the box. After doing this, however, I noticed that the paint detracted from the original burning and decided to go back over the previous burning to insure that it was a bold look.
While doing this though, I was inhaling burning paint fumes. Great.
It just makes me feel like I am giving myself cancer. (and when I say that, I think to myself: I probably am, and should stop doing this).
Blah.
At least the treasure boxes look nice. :P
