    Craft expo

    September 6, 2012 - By 
    I’m gearing up to participate in my first Craft Expo. I’m very excited!! I’m about 6 weeks out from it but I know how fast time goes.
    Over the weekend I made a bunch of wine charms. Then all I needed was a label. I wanted something wine themed so I went in search of images. Inspiration struck when I walked through our family room.
    Why not use my painting?!?
    A little help from photoshop and my label was complete.
    I’m thinking about Christmas as well….
    One of my chandelier bulbs recently burned out so now it has a new blinged out life.

    Green tea??

    July 24, 2012 - By 

    This is what I’m drinking this morning instead of tea. It’s a recipe I discovered on Pinterest.

    I tried it yesterday since I had everything on hand and was so surprised at how good it tasted. You can’t taste the spinach at all!!

    Here’s a link to the recipe.

    I’ll be swinging by Kimmie’s blog later to see what my friends are up today…you should too!

    Bottle cap wind chime

    July 14, 2012 - By 

    I’ve been working on this project for longer than I care to admit. I found that I couldn’t work on it in the morning because I was too shaky from numerous cups of coffee to bead and bend jumprings. By afternoon, I just wasn’t interested in working on it.

    As you can see I put my own spin on it. I used an old CD for the top of the wind chime. I also included beads with the bottle caps for interest. I’m so happy to have actually used a bunch of the caps I’ve collected over the years as well as all the ones friends save for me.

    Now I just need to find the perfect spot for it. Mr. G and I were talking this morning about making a tiki bar on the deck or the patio. I think it would fit in quite nicely!

    Here’s the original “pin” that
    inspired my above creation:
