So I went to a garage sale yesterday and I hit the freaking jackpot! I got Battleship, Operation, Boggle and a bunch of board-game pieces including life pieces, marbles, tokens, Scrabble Words tiles, and Spirographs! So this is a wire-wrapped spirograph necklace I just made with one of my great finds.

Below, is one of my more inspired ideas, if I do say so myself. So I had this 10 pack of sprinkles a while back and Zachary got into them and poured them all out on the floor and made pretty rainbow piles... in the basement. So I had to throw away all of my sprinkles. BUT I saved the containers cause they were too cute to throw away! And Jason just gave me that blank stare which says, "You're keeping MORE trash?" Anyway, today, in a sudden moment of inspiration, I emptied a bag of crimp beads into each one (one's tubes, one's circles). I flipped it upside down and shook it and nothing came out. So I shook it again, harder, and one popped out. The second time I tried, two came out. But it's great! I don't have to dig to try to grab just one or worry about them flying out everywhere or tipping over a tiny bag! Pretty exciting stuff.
My final project today was this super cute bathroom organizer. I first came across the idea on Pinterest. Click this link to see the original one, made with metal plates and glass taper holders, all from the Dollar Store. I went to Michael's for my supplies, I really wanted it to be cutesy. In the summer section they had these great plastic plates, the adorable hot pink margarita glass and the glass, pink, flowery candle holder. Plus they had the E6000 I used to glue everything together. (By the way, I highly recommend all of the products in the picture, feel free to message me for more info.)
