Happy Tap Dance Day!


What do you give a friend for "National Tap Dance Day", if you don't own any tap shoes? Tap, tap, tap, tap….Slap? No. Map? Map of USA…USA=states, States=plates, license plates…How about a license plate purse…Cool. This one is embellished with Swarovski crystals. Available at Nicholson House, on sale for $110.

May is National Bike Month...

Gift for Dad idea...


How cute is this sweet collage? This Father's Day, how about making Dad a collage of old photos of you and him. Use little trinkets from your childhood, and maybe some pieces of your old art projects. Include an old sports ticket, or a bus token from a family trip…Make it sentimental. All of the objects and photos will look cohesive after they are placed in a grid like this example.

Turn an old cane chair into a new treasure. First paint the chair, and sew a new cushion. Next, weave ribbon through the back of the chair. Voila! Instant Treasure!

Recycled Wreath


Here's a cute decorating idea. Take old bills or newspaper and cut, or throw them in the shredder. Arrange loose paper curls, and create a wreath! Decorate for a special day, or make every day special!
