birthday idea for young women's

the store TINKERBELL in the superstition mountain mall has jewelry for $2. they are cheap enough and super cute. so i decided to create this for my girls.

there are 5 little hooks on the backside of the frame. each birthday i will bring this out and let the girl choose 1 necklace. then i will replace it with a new necklace for the next birthday.

Dancing the virginia reel with Eritrean's just hours before the shaytards came over. they missed out on LOTS of fun. so my sister is married to mommytard's brother. i've know them for sometime now, but i just found out that my husband is 4th cousins with my sister's husband. therefore, fourth cousins to mommytard. CRAZY SMALL WORLD! so ALL you lawlor/glasgow's are related to them too!

chicken wire frames

FIRST: get a frame, any shape any color

SECOND: if you don't like the color, paint it.

THIRD: if you want to make it rustic, sand it down.

FOURTH: cut the chicken wire to fit the frame then use a staple gun to attach the wire.

FIFTH: hot glue felt around the frame to over the wire ends for protection, add something for hanging.

perfect rustic look for hanging bows, pics, or notes.
