I'm Back....


Happy Tuesday Everyone.

I hope you are all doing well. You probably notice I have been gone for 9 days. I had strep throat and an upper respiratory infection. I am feeling much better today.





Today I want to share a little spinning rack that I found at the thrift store. I think it use to be a spice rack but all the jars were missing. When I spun it at the store...it spun so smoothly, I was thinking maybe I could take it apart and use the turn table under something. When I got home I started to take it apart...well I didn't get very far. I was afraid if I opened up the bottom I wouldn't be able to get it to spin as nicely again.



So I tried every jar I had to fit in the cut outs, nothing worked, if only those cut outs weren't there. **DING** cover the cut outs. I cut up a cereal box and Decoupage some paper to it. I made three shelves with sides to help hold everything on it. I filled them with some of my favorite Ranger Products, which has come in handy since I took the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 class. (( I'll share that on another day.)) I added a little black ribbon around the edge and **walla** a spinning caddy for my desk.


I hope this inspires you to look around and put something old into use again.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs~~
Molly

  3. Actually, I'm old enough to know that was a rack to hold all your rubber stamps on when they had handles. Great re-purposing.
