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.

Who doesn't have empty CD cases laying around. You lost or damaged the CD, but don't want to throw out the case. Here is a cool idea. I took 16 empty cases and duct taped them together. I cut out yellow paper to fit in the cover of 12 of them and drew pictures for the other four. Instant art with a unique frame. I did my own drawings, but you could use photos or put in your kids artwork, anything that you can think of. I used duct tape to add a hanger in the back for ease in putting it on the wall. You could also do a smaller version by using only three or four cases and putting them in a straight row to hang vertically or horizontally. In the future, I might put something to brace the Cd's a bit more, but in general the results are good. The possibilities are endless with a bit of imagination.
