A DOLLAR AND SOME TIME.................

The only thing better than getting junk for free are those items you can get for a dollar or less.  Sometime last year I picked up a dirty old cable spool, I don't remember where but when I dug it out it still had a price of $1.00 on it.  I do remember the hubby telling me I didn't want this one as the center part was only cardboard, but I knew I would be taking it apart so I didn't care what was holding it together.

Well after dismantling and cleaning I used the inspiration from my Christmas present to turn that cruddy old spool (I didn't want) into this beautiful clock.

 

Using a few more dollars, I hit the dollar store and came up some jars and candle sticks.  Using my "special" glue (thanks Pam) I combined the two, fired up my cricut and added some etching cream and now I have these gorgeous one of a kind jars for candy or whatever treasures one might want to use them for.

 

 

 

But, I must do better at taking before pictures !!!!!
