Finally!

 It took me a while, but I've finally finished my sister's christmas present. Ha! It was just one of those projects that I got stuck on and had to put it away for a while. And unfortunately it never made it's way across the ocean and under her christmas tree. But....better late than never, right!? So here it is....

It started out as a drabby ol' picture frame that I picked up at my local goodwill shop for like a buck or two. A little bit of rub-n-buff, pretty paper, lace, flowers, bling.....and poof! It's gorgeous! At least I think so...

I used my new favorite product on top of the glass....rub-ons!

Some Prima lace, flowers, and bling. Along with my own handrolled mulberry flowers.

And the final piece that pulled it all together for me...this gorgeous flower of a jewel! It was part of a necklace that I literally took my pliers to and took apart. Luuuuuuuv it!

Lesson for the day......

Check your local thrift store for great pieces to alter. Not only are they a deal, but you can find some pretty awesome things there.

And don't forget about your old forgotten jewelry that you no longer wear....Repurpose it!

XOXO...mo
