I thought I'd show you some unique touches we put in my daughter's room.
We made our own earring tree; we made a vase(yes, the movie theatre background comes out again)
Yes, had a roll of tickets and thought it would be fun to make a tribute vase...daughter loved it and
grabbed it for her room!
A shoe bag, we found took up to much space in the closet; Instead, she organized her jewelry by color.
Jim Hendrix needed some piazza; so we took inexpensive black plastic bracelets, with added musical charms to jazz, Jimmy up... We think Jimmy would be pleased~
My daughter graduated from 8th grade, yesterday! She received an award for AB Honor roll, for the whole year. I think there were 13 students out of 170 students. We are proud!
I won the necklace she is wearing; It was made by Becky Shander. Becky used driftwood from a beach in Maine.
It was featured in Somerset Life.
Becky made some jewelry for her daughter from treasures they found together at the beach; A Mother’s love is as deep as an ocean was her theme. A wonderful sentiment~
Becky also included a kit to make another necklace; I am going to make Angela the other one. I wasn't sure if she wanted one, til she ran in my room, looking for jewelry and decided on this necklace. We talked how it represented home for us. She is out of school; so next week, we will make it together. It will be memorable and unique~ I am thrilled I won it!
*This pic is the small, coastal town I grew up in. It is quaint and 45min from Stephen King's home!
I am behind I received some gracious, fun awards and I need to pass them on.
I want to thanks Yvonne, for the Sisterhood Award....Thank you so much! I don't have a sister...fun to be allowed in the group!
I'd like to pass this award to: (8's keep showing up, lately):
Chrissy
Hart
Jenny
Julie
Molly
Pixie
Stacey
Wanda
All of these gals have something special, how fun to have so many sisters ;-D!
Tomorrow I will be listing the rest of the awards: From Alex, Rayna and B. Miller-I have done something like this before, so this will be a great challenge! I accept...

It was nice to have Angela wear a piece of Maine! She has been fortunate, we have only moved with her
from Florida to Maine, then to Hawaii, back to Maine,then hubby received orders to Virginia, then to our home, now in North Carolina. She only had to go to two schools.
She calls Maine, home, where her grammie lives!

Enjoy the week-end.
Yvonne.
Congratulations to her mother is a beautiful ... congratulations for the achievements on display.
Ella is a beautiful name ... I like ... no nickname.
To be loved and happy!
Yeah, I messed up, the vase was suppose to be a bowl. When you get the tickets, you push out in the middle and be brave, keep going...I went to far and said, now, it is a vase! I think I like it better; If is was a bowl, someone would of put food in it and ruined it~
Thanks everyone~
Angela's a cutie, love what you did with her room!
ps: cool new background
your friend
Jenny
Right now, I am in a one pair of studs phase, but when I do go back to my a couple of earrings a day phase (the two rotate), I am definitely copying your idea.
And I love you new blog too.
Rayna..I painted lace and then you can staple it or tack it on frame! I sponged the paint on; I found the idea online. If I could remember where, I would give credit. I know there are a lot of creative ideas on www.familyfun.com We are going to update her room and make pillows; she has a few, but it is an easy way to decorate the room. I would love to see it... I need one, myself...
age, define the times with their love of certain symbols and music. Funny, though when you think, whose time are they defining with those symbols ;-D I wore a lot of peace sign jewelry when I was around that age~
Your daughter is adorable; Is she creative like you, Mom?!
Neat decor projects! How lucky being able to craft together. My ♥boys♥ were only game for that up till about age 10.
By the way, my blog-hopping has been few & far between lately, and I haven't said thanks for the blog award you sent my way or gotten it posted. But thank you!!
outdoor stuff...prior it was great! His creativity is now computer generated, which is exciting, but different! Life marches on and we adjust! Keep at it~
Thanks for the sisterhood award :) and congrats to your daughter on her graduation and good grades. Very creative use of the roll of tickets.
Congrats to your daughter, and thank you for the award. I'm going to have to pass on the favor soon one of these days... when I don't work 10 hours a day... but your comments on my blog always cheer me, so thank you so much, you are always so generous!
