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
Hello! Today I have a simple idea for you. I got this set of candle holders around Christmas time for $5.00. Originally they were going to be a gift, but I couldn't decide who to give them to. They sat collecting dust on a table until today. 
Sometimes a light bulb goes off in your head and a creative project is born. I grabbed my bin of yarn and started wrapping the candle holders. I used a bit of glue to secure the ends and also throughout the project. There was plenty of yarn to wrap all three the same, but a variety of colors sounded appealing to me. This is definitely a craft that anyone could do. These candle holders were made for the larger pillar candle but because of the size you could also use them as plate stands or you could display any number of objects on top. I have mentioned this in the past, just because something is made for a certain purpose doesn't mean that that is all you can use it for. That's where creativity comes in.
