Check out my pix and crafts!

Well, I haven't got a clue where to find the beaded sandal; but now I do have a yellow beaded lamp shade! LOL! (Amy rains little gold and paper beads all over Dave!)

"Taking her mom's ability!" Ha! I like to think of it as GROOMING the next generation. ;-)

I'm getting such a kick out of applying scrapbooking techniques to school projects.

What a neat lamp. Very bright and colorful. What a great idea.

That looks like it would be a fun project, and a job well done.

That turned out very cute! I've got some of the pop top tabs I need to actually do something with them.

Lynne

Her lamp turned out great. Thanks for sharing.

Amy -

It looks great! It was great to hear you talk about the process when you were here in Seattle!

She's done a great job! She should get lots of extra credit for it. :-) She definately takes after her talented mom.

What a lovely idea... i love that cat fabric too :) Hope she gets 110% grade for it!

That is totally cool... we didn't have projects like that when I was in school. She did an awesome job.

Amanda

Very cute. She did a great job. I bet she has lots of ideas for other altered things.

I am LMO at the subject Altered lamp. It just occured to me that I altered my lamp when I fell and the only thing to grab was my lamp!! LOL It is quite altered after it's fall with me to the floor! It is standing very lop sided now.

DD's grade on the lamp came back... she got a 97. An 'A's and 'A', but can you guess why the teacher took 3 points off?

The objective of the project was to use recycled materials right? The teacher took points off because we bought the lamp at the Goodwill store ($4). After my DD explained that the lamp was recycled (pre-owed I think she said), the teacher raised her grade to a 98.

Geesh! To me, Goodwill and other thrift stores are the very definition of recycling!

I agree with you. I suppose your daughter was supposed to find a lamp in a gutter some where? I lived with my Grandma when I was going to college. We lived in an apartment complex and had a huge trash been to throw the trash in. I dreaded when she'd take the trash out. When she took the trash out she'd almost always come back with more than she left. She's usually have something she thought would be perfect for me or my bedroom. Most of the time it was just trash (in my opinion), but sometimes she'd come back with something really good.

I like how that turned out Amy, your DD did a great job.
