Today's DIY Project

I've had this window for several years...

At first I was going to put four scrapbook pages in each window and hang it over our bed. Then I thought I'd do wall words in each pane and again hang over our bed. I never did anything.

Then, I became addicted to the website Pinterest. Yes, addicted. That could be an entire post in itself. Anyway, I saw something perfect for me on Pinterest and perfect for my window. Today, the window became a jewelry holder.



First, hubby removed the glass for me. Then we roughed it up a little bit and cut
some yard cloth to size and stapled it to the back.



I hung it in the perfect spot between the two front windows in my bed room.



I used small open "S" hooks to hang my beaded jewelry.



Taa-Daa!!!


A close up.... yes, I made about 95% of this jewelery.
I filled the entire thing and I have a lot more beaded jewelery...
But, I'm thrilled with the results and it was a fun project for a rainy day!

Come out, come out wherever you are!

I've looked everywhere. I've looked high and low. I've searched inside and out.
I cannot find it anywhere.

I lost my mojo. My paper crafting mojo.

I want to scrapbook. I want to make cards. I do. I really want to.

I want to want to.

But I just can't get in the mood. I've searched blogs. I've browsed on-line stores. I've gone to Michaels and Hobby Lobby.
I even bought some paper and ink at a scrapbook store not too long ago.
Nothing has helped.

Where did it go? Why can't I find it?

Magazines don't help. My own scrapbooks don't get me motivated. My photos that are begging to be scrapped, are pushed aside.

What can I do to motivate?
Can you help me?
Any suggestions, I'll take them!

Help me find my paper crafting mojo... it's lost and cannot find it's way back!
