My friend T arrives today. I have been spending the past few days preparing a few things for her visit. One thing that she loves to do is relax in our Roman tub. I thought a container of bath salts would make for a happy invitation. Like Sands Through The Plexi Glass. Like Sands Through The Plexi Glass I purchased a carton of Epson salt in the pharmacy department of Wal Mart. The shatterproof plexiglass containers were found in the food storage section of the store. I already had the ... View the Post
Cute Valentine Crafts
Cute Valentine Crafts: I adore frothy decor confections for this, the most romantic of holidays. Cute Valentine Crafts Life may very well be like a box of chocolates and the empty containers can be just as sweet. Wielding a glue stick and a roll of crepe paper begin by just folding a pleat and gluing it down. Using the edge of the box top as your guide continue to do this 500 times. :) Then add lace and trim with a glue gun. Add some paper punched hearts and a bit of Valentine-themed ... View the Post

Roses and vincas were all abloom. The event was hosted by Melrose Vintage and they had set up a few of their delightful wares ... View the Post
The Lightbulb is Fully Lit
On Wednesday I will start a new semester at college. Sadly, one of my four classes was dropped due to lack of enrollment. I am sure that it will in some way become a blessing. For those of you who enjoy my school antics and lovingly pray for me, thank you so much. One of the classes that really was a challenge for me last semester was an advanced lighting class. Early on our instructor informed us that we could opt out of a term paper if we created our own light fixture. So I turned to the ... View the Post
Pick me, pick me! Craft 7
Pick me, pick me! Craft 7. I recently made some festive picks using vintage sheet music. Pick me, pick me! Craft 7 The larger leaf and blossom style ended up on my tree. A few now grace a couple of gift bags. It's funny how ideas come to you. As many of you know I create corsages using new and vintage elements. One of the things I do is snip off bits and pieces of new picks to add onto the corsages. After one such craft session as I was cleaning up I scooped up the pick ... View the Post
