Some of my favorite things are so silly and small. I wonder why I love them so ? I have long loved garlands of every sort but have never tried to make the paper kind. Now I have. I am probably the last person in the world to make these …
These chairs must have been born in the 70’s. You don’t see fabric like that anymore. $12 each at the thrift store. Good condition and no need to repaint . . . at least not now. One-third yard of fabric to cover each seat. Start to finish – less than …
A well-placed mirror makes a room look bigger. A thrifted mirror in good condition is even better. A thrifted pedestal table can be cut down to make a wonderful coffee table. If Grandpa doesn’t live at your house, I don’t know what to tell you. New wheels, bronzed …

journal entry: “You Are Divine” is used here to mean that we are children of Heavenly Parents. Our attributes are Heavenly gifts. We are divine. This is a fairly large globe which had several damaged surfaces. I used a “one-coat metallic spray paint” which covered quickly and perfectly in …
