Ovarian Cancer Vintage Jewelry Framed Christmas Tree
Frame measures 12 inches wide and 15 inches tall. Wood Frame which I did purchase at a local Thrift Shop so it is not new but I feel it just adds to the beauty of the tree. I embellished the frame with teal and pearl like buttons to match my colors in the tree.
When I was trying to design the tree I never knew how hard teal is to match up with another color, I decided on faux pearl and gold tone vintage jewelry.
The backing on the tree is Ecru felt and underneath the jewelry you will see where I layered Ecru lace. I used a Vintage faux teal pearl necklace to form my frame.

Recycled Bowling Balls

I made these earlier this summer in fact I made several for my front yard garden. Lady bug one,one with lizards,one with frogs,and one with tea pot and cups graphics.
Easy to do just clean well I clean mine with alcohol. You can find used Bowling Balls at the Thrift Stores some times the Bowling Alleys will give them to you.
After I cleaned them I spray painted them the color I wanted and then I applied the graphics in some cases I used stickers but I would not use stickers if you plan to use outside. The last thing I did was spray it with a good polyurethane sealer.Sorry about the sponged bowling ball picture I think the sun was shining the wrong way..

These are sold but I will take special orders

Glass Block Light

I finally finished this it has been a work in progress project for some time. I first drilled a hole in the block to run the lights I then put all my Velum Papers on then I decoupaged the flaming I painted on the glass block.
Then just this past weekend I put some Blue aluminum foil in the front of the block on the bottom hoping to give the allusion of water, put my string of lights in and added some aquarium stones all around the lights to help hold them down.
Last thing I did was put some very wide canvas ribbon all around the side of the Block just for added dimension.
I would love comments

What I did during the Tropical Storm

We survived the storm. Jacksonville as a whole got 20" of water, many homes damaged from wind. We lost a tree in the back yard and had some major damage to our fence but all in all we faired well.
Anyway I got a order for a Purple Wreath from a Lady and this is what I made. I had made the same thing last year for another Lady I never think of Purple for the Holidays but when I went to Michaels I had no problem finding accessories.

Hurricane Fay

As I am sure you are all aware we are expecting a Hurricane in the next couple days I will be busy preparing my home for that event. When times allows and the storm passes I will be back sharing my ideas with you.

Gift Card Purse Pin

My friend Joy was so kind and got me some expired gift cards. I made a small template of a dome shape. I cut 2 cards and glued them together, punched 2 holes in the top ran a wire and wrapped it and shaped it adding beads then secured it by wrapping the other end. This serves as the purse handle. I then cut out a heart shape and glued it to the purse and embellished it all with old broken jewelry. Glued a pin on the back and that was it.

Zuni Earrings Handmade

I actually found the facings for these off a hanging ornament for the wall. I brought them home with no idea what to do with them.

Measuring at almost 2".

I put some scrap grosgrain ribbon down on the right hand side and added 2 rick rack yo yo's on each side.
The watch I took from a broken watch my daughter gave me, I put a round finding around it to add some depth it fit perfect.
The purse and eyeglasses I found at a dollar store.
