Here we go with yet more craft ideas. Right now I think I am using crafting as an escape from all my boring housework. When I am gluing or painting, drilling or cutting, it seems like there's no such thing as ironing, or mopping, dusting or folding, and that's how I like it! Of course reality always hits hard and I can't stay in denial forever..... but maybe just a little longer.
Shells glued onto sandpaper.
A cute frame I picked up for 10 cents at a garage sale.
I have yet to put my own photos in this frame but the black and white are passable 'till I get around to it. I had the wooden plaque, the shell and the stick-on letters lying around the house, so no expense here.
How cute are these tiny flower pots!! I have a few ideas what I could do with them.
I painted the shelf today. It was apple green before.

The framed shells are incredibly cute!! I have so many beautiful shells which I collected on a wonderful journey and I don't quite know how to use / display them without being cheesy. What you do is NOT.
