The finished puzzles were about 6 x 8. I have kept them on a shelf, most were assembled and one was still in the box. I had managed to use puzzle saver to keep them together. Then yesterday, an idea came to me, I had a frame that was used on a past post as a normal frame but now I had an even better idea for it. The great thing about creativity is that sometimes you do a project and after time passes, a better idea surfaces. This was one of those times. I gathered up my puzzles and after measuring one of them cut it to size for the frame. They were cheap so the cardboard was easy to cut. Then I grabbed my glue gun and used the remaining pieces to decorate the frame. To have enough pieces, I had to take apart a few of the remaining puzzles, but since they had been gathering dust anyways it didn't matter.
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...
