I love jewelry. Immensely. However, I never seemed to be able to locate the pieces that I wanted at any given time. My necklaces always ended up on the floor, or in a bag...you get the idea.

Anyway, this is my solution to the problem. Jewelry boxes never seemed to accommodate my things, so I decide to come up with my own answer.

I made this using a key rack I purchased at Wal Mart. I spray painted it black, then decoupaged these wonderful pictures I scored from an old issue of Venus that I had. Several layers of sealant later, I spray painted the hooks pink and hot glued some pearls around it. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

I'd love to add a turquoise mini boa behind the pearls, but the gf thinks that would make it tacky...

This is beautiful! I adore it!

I think it would be simpler to spray it on the inside with some sort of paint. A light coat. That should even out your problem without blocking too much light. Or maybe take some overhead projector film, maybe a fun red or purple, and tape it inside.

I find this to be...adorable. My puppy and your puppy share the same name, though I chose to spell it Pheobe. Mostly because I was pretty sure that is how it was spelled, and I don't mind the eccentricity anymore.

My Pheobe is a Bug or Boston Terrier/Pug mix.

Alright, as I was recently doing some hunting online I came across an old gumball machine. I have since purchased it, and I will be picking it up today.

Everything I read online says that beta fish need at least 1/2 a gallon of water, but preferably one gallon per fish. I would imagine that my machine will accommodate at least this. If it doesn't I will figure out some other purpose for my machine. After all, a gumball machine is pretty cool all on its own.

One modification I will be making for my tank however, is drilling some holes in the top of the metal cap, and figuring out how to maneuver some sort of filtration system.

Macgirl I will keep you updated on my progress.

It's so beautiful! Your artistry and craftiness inspire me.

This was an awesome idea! My favorite crafty projects are things reconstructions.

There will probably be one in my home very soon.
