Glitter, glitter everywhere.................

The two day glitter party at my house has finally come to an end.  I made these stars to put up in my window, well stars or snowflakes.  I intended them to be white and silver, but after several tries that was not going well at all.  You could see the wood under the glitter and it looked horrible.  Do not and I repeat do not run to Michael's on a Saturday when they are having a 70% off all Christmas stuff sale, to buy two bottles of gold glitter.  I stood in line forever just to spend a few dollars.  But you know how that goes, you have to have the glitter right NOW so it doesn't matter if you have to wait forever to buy it.

I spent hours on these babies, and more than a few hours after that cleaning up glitter.  How is it that glitter ends up in your bedroom which is across the house from where all the crafting has occurred?  Up close these stars/snowflakes horrible looking, I mean really pathetic.  But I can't get over how pretty they look up in the window.  They turn and sparkle and reflect the light.  They look different as the light changes during the day, slowly swirling and twirling all day long. 

At night they look even prettier if possible.  I loved my Autumn Leaves so much I decided I needed more sparkle on my windows for the Winter.  I love them even if they are pathetic up close.  Now I just have to remind myself not to play with glitter next time my back hurts, all the vacuuming, damp mopping, more vacuuming and cleaning is not what I call rest!

Have a great week everyone.
