Long time no blog!
Hi Everyone.....Long time no blog.
Some of you may have notice or not, that I haven't been blogging lately, I for for several years I suffer from depression. After my sons death I also suffer from anxiety. I know lots of people do, but don't like to talk about it..I was one of those people. But because I didn't, I lost a lot of friends. When I couldn't get out of bed to answer their phone calls or call them back after leaving a message they took to mean I wasn't interested ..."Not true"!!!....I just couldn't stand myself and didn't want to face the world. So I set up a cocoon in my bed and would stay there however long it took to feel better. I take meds for depression and anxiety, but some times they just don't work. So to all my new friends in the blogging world I hope you understand...I am back to read your blogs and I hope you will read mine!!!!

A reclaimed Box
I did this project a few years ago....I thought I would share with you. It started out a plain wood box. I fist painted it black, then put on a crackle medium. after it was dry I painted it white....I hated it. I tucked it away somewhere for awhile. I stumbled across it one day and yes I still hated it. I used a stencil and some kind of medium that was the in thing back then, to make raised stencil....If any one remembers what it is please comment... Then I used a copper color on the stars, and used a stain on the rest of the box. I like it now. I'm glad I didn't toss the box!

Update on the recycled earrings
Update on the recycled earrings....Once the mod podge is set you can remove the plastic backing.(who new?)
I did that to these and noticed there were empty spots around the edges, so I cut them off. It made the earring a little smaller so I think the moral of this story is.......make them bigger then the size you want. Once you remove the backing you can cut them down to the size and shape you want. I'm now working on beads....Stay tuned!
