Ever been tagged before? Chances are you have. And if not, then today is your day. I tag YOU to make a list of at least 5 random facts, habits or goals about YOU. As scrapbookers, we rarely make a page for ourselves so here is your chance to document a little randomness about you.  Break out the camera and strike a pose ladies. Yep, include a self portrait and some yummy goodies from this month’s kit and ta-dah! You have a page for all your loved ones to see and learn more about the fabulous lovely behind those scrap pages. I suspect we all have a little randomness to celebrate, I’m hoping to create more pages like this where I can compare and see how much I’ve changed ( or just how crazy I am LOL). Have fun !

what ever to do with those vintage bobbins???

i wanted nothing more then to stick them on my living room shelf and display them in all their beautiful vintage glory…i know!! they are fab!!

but…*sigh*…i knew kerry lynn was probably looking for something a little more creative then that, lol!!

so….i turned them into photo/note holders. a simple project that still allows for them to sit on my shelf…but makes them a bit more useful and a bit more cool;)

so here’s what you need…

your bobbins

2 clothes pins ( the wooden ones)

paint

light guage wire

glimmer mist

ribbon

what you do

paint your clothes pins, let dry.

spray some glimmer mist on, let dry

cut a loooooooooooong length of wire, hold your clothes pin to your bobbin and wrap some of the wire around the part of the clothes pin that sits against the bobbin holding the bottom part of the pin to your bobbin. press the clothes pin open and continue now wrapping wire around the top part of the clothes pin. when you are done, twist the ends of the wire together and cut off any extra length.

tie a bit of ribbon to the bottom of the bobbin,

press the clothes pin open and insert a photo or note, set on shelf or desk…and done!!!

Don’t you just adore the antique spools that are in February’s Featherweight kit? I knew I wanted to look at them every day & enjoy them, so I used them as hangers for two quick little projects.

The first is a calendar–I left the top of the paper frame unstitched so I can slip a new month in & out.

My second project is an emergency numbers list…this will go by the phone in the kitchen.

How are you going to use those awesome spools? I can’t wait to hear about & see your projects! :)
