Crazy Creations!

So I have totally hated this light fixture in our entry way from the day it was installed. Honestly I am not sure how we ended up with it. I am quite sure I would never have picked something so ugly out... anyway, I was at Osmond Design and saw that they had put some branches, balls and moss on a light fixture. At first I was like...hum, interesting but then I kinda liked it and figured that maybe I could cover up my ugly light that way, I deviated a little from what they had and added acorns, nests and wire birds.

With the lights off you can see the birds better.
I'm sure Rick will completely abhor this, oh-well, it's nothing permanent.

This next creation is not quite as "controversial" as the,"light fixture, bird nest thingy".

I think it is actually really cute. It is a ribbon bookmark. I love it because it looks old or I guess I should say, "vintage" Rick would say, That I love it because I'm a Grandma, I say, I love it cause I am a romantic, and I find it very, well...romantic.

I found a nice biography of Spencer W. Kimball at D.I. for $2 I ripped it apart, burned the edges, Tied some ribbon around it, added a few old things to it, (a pocket watch, a handkerchief and the ribbon bookmark), and tah dah! Something fun to throw on a coffee table or coffee table tray.
