Day 6 already?  Sniff, sniff.  That means there's only one day left! How are you holding up?  Exhausted?  Excited?  A little bit of both?  Me too!

Yvonne's amazing hand cutting impressed me!  Wasn't her upcycled box beautiful?  And I really like those cute rolled felt roses!

Cuchy made me look at UTEE anew.  I had never thought of inking up the edges of a piece of glass and then melting UTEE just on the edges.  Man, totally brilliant!  Love that tip!

Monika's pocket pages are the coolest!  But I really adore her idea for making a simple pad of paper with just an eyelet and a tab.  Simple and wonderful!

And because I can't stand the thought of creating a post without a few photos, I thought I'd share the easiest (like less than a minute) gift idea on earth.

Repeat after me: Two of anything equals earrings.

Bears
Two tiny stuffed bears?

Julie-bears-sm
Earrings!

Trucks
Trucks
Two tiny plastic trucks?

Julie-trucks-sm
Earrings!

Twotags
Two tags?

Punchandbows
Use a snowflake punch and tie the strings into bows and you get…

Julie-tags-sm
Earrings!

Seriously, just buy a pack of earring hooks, grab your flat nose pliers, and you can turn two of anything into earrings!  Give it a try!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • They don’t even really have to match…. for example, I like the thought of a tag hanging from one ear while a bow hangs from the other, (leaving the wearer to be the gift!) , ….or Winnie the Pooh from one ear and a pot of Honey from the other… the possibilities offer all kinds of conversation starters…
