DONE & THANK-YOU!!!

Well, the house is a mess, the laundry is over-flowing, and the kids haven't had a decent meal for a couple days, BUT..........I've finished another order......Hooray!!!!!   Just had to show it to you all.

I also wanted to tell you all something.....when I first started my blog I wanted a venue to keep a record of my projects......little did I realize that I would meet such an amazing group of people.  I am overwhelmed that so many people have become followers of this little blog, but I am more overwhelmed by all the encouragement, support and inspiration you have all provided me.  I cherish each of your comments and appreciate them deeply.  I am so blessed to have so many like-minded new friends in my life.

Happy day my blogging friends.

A DIY JUNK PROJECT!!!

Hello blogging friends.  Today I have decided to post a DIY project.  This is a fun and simple craft utilizing thrift store finds.  I have turned silverplated plates into clocks.  This first one is done using a small silver plate---I decoupaged a Paris picture to the front, added some numbers and a clock mechanism.

Simply drill a hole in the center of your plate (large enough for your clock mechanism to fit through).  Then assemble as per instructions that come in the clock kit.  If you have never used a drill, DON'T BE AFRAID, they are very easy and pretty much self explanatory.  The hardware store people can help you pick out the right sized drill bit.

Another easy, peasy junk project brought to you by junk dreams.

Happy day my blogging friends.  A special thank you to all my followers who give purpose to my junking pursuits, and inspiration to my creative spirit.  I enjoy each of your blogs in return!!!

Night Lights

For several years now I have been selling my "junkstyle" creations at local stores. I am amazed and thankful that so many people have supported me through the years by buying my creations. Their gift of buying allows more room for my creative spirit to grow and flourish.

My teapot night lights have been a hit at one of our local stores, The Passionate Home, owned and operated by a junk buddy, Carrie Thachuk. These are some of my most recent creations that will soon make their way down to the store.
