I promise I don't craft all the time!

I seem to be collecting earrings lately. I think it's the long hair. It just makes me love big earrings and I can actually get away with them now. Anyway, back to the point....I am accumulating quite a few pairs of earrings. And the horrible part is I had no where to put them. I just had a tiny little trinket box (OK, two tiny trinket boxes) and to be completely honest, a few ended up in my desk drawer and maybe 1 or 2 in the car. See? I totally needed a place for my new treasures to live. Long story short: I trekked to Goodwill and found an interesting frame (not quite as funky as I would like, but still acceptable) for $2.50. After a quick trip to Home Depot for paint, the grid material, and some cup hooks, and I was in business. Isn't it cute?

Here she is all loaded up. SO much easier than digging!

For Mutual a few weeks ago, the Beehives planned the Missionary Olympics and I was assigned the task of coming up with the medals. And, really, I am so impressed with myself. As of 11pm the night before, I had NO clue what to do, I knew candy was important, but how to do gold, silver and bronze??? Inspiration hit at Wal-Mart at mid-night:

I just bought those gold medals from the party aisle. The gold I left alone and stuck a mini-Twix to the back, for silver I wrapped them in tin foil and stuck a mini-york to the back and for bronze, I just hit the gold with a little brown paint and attached a single Reese's. Oh, and the activity was TOTALLY fun too.
