Book Page Wreath

So, first of all...librarians & book-o-philes please avert your eyes. Or not. In fact, if it would help you sleep better at night & refrain from voicing death threats like making me die a slow death from thousands of tiny paper cuts; please note that the only books harmed were very, very cheesy romance novels. In fact 5 (100 + paged) were shredded without mercy to complete this wreath.
Anyways, it was very time intense to make but it really was an inexpensive wreath to make overall. The five sacrificial  "novels" were a whopping 25 cents a piece & the wreath was on sale at Walmart, easiness! As for all of the "extras" (pearls, tiny rosettes, felt flowers, shambala beads, random vintage jewelry pieces, etc.), those were the things that I already had on hand & had no other plans for.
But....here it is! All done!

Annoying Crossovers

   Have you ever taken something from Walmart and insisted that Target advertise it?  Have you ever walked into Burger King and demanded a Big Mac?  Wait, last one!  Have you ever gone into the Michael Kors store and asked them just where in the hell are their Coach bags?  Then why oh why do people flood the Facebook news feed with crap from Pinterest?  Let's face it, you're doing no one a favor.  Most everything that gets sloughed from Pinterest and flops onto the surface of Facebook is seriously old news.  Seriously.  If someone wants a crafty thing to do, some nifty information, or they just wonder what on earth they will be making for dinner; generally they already have a Pinterest account to do so. 
    I am working several irons in the fire that I've kept pretty steady to make part of my Pinterest blog a "go-to", if you will, for things that people pin that have either been really big hits or tragic misses.  I want to do this because it is amazing how some pins still remain on Pinterest and get new life breathed into them by posting them to Facebook that are.....well, bologna dressed up like a Ruth Chris's steak. 


Stay tuned.
