The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
Every creative endeavor is not always successful. I have had this idea for a while and have been trying to figure out how to do it. I wanted to make a lampshade with playing cards. There was finally a lampshade that seemed to be perfect but after I made this, it didn't work out as well as I would have wanted. My post today was in theory a good idea, but the final product wasn't great. I used packing tape to hold the cards together and used jewelry jump rings to attach them to the top of the shade. It doesn't hang right and is a bit odd right now. 
What that means is there will at sometime in the future be another post with a successful card lampshade. It's like experimenting in science, you try different combinations and have varying results until you get it right.
