A few weeks ago Noah and Kayt were in the kitchen and something went BOOM. And then something else went BANG. And the the shelf on our den wall went CRASH.
I still don't know exactly what happened.
What I do know is that my black candle sticks on the shelf went SPLAT.
It was okay though.
Actually, I was glad the commotion happened because I have had intentions of re-doing the items on the shelf since... oh.... when we moved in.
I know.
Prior to the noisy accident, I had seen this item and I liked it.
The problem: I didn't know where to put it.
The answer: in place of the splatted candle sticks.
Late one night (and by late one night I mean sometime around 12:45am) after small group and one too many cups of coffee, I decided to dive into the Bible and styrofoam wreath that I purchased at Dollar Tree.
I had fun.
Lots-o-fun!
Hubby thought I was a bit wacky tearing apart scripture in the wee hours of the morning, but hey....
If you are wondering about my purchase choice of a Bible, I will say this... I was not up for experimenting with a pre-owned book. When I grabbed for some trashy romance novel on the shelves of Dollar Tree I could not bring myself to purchase it, much less hang it on the walls of my home. You see, I am particular about what 'stuff' we allow in our home. That is another post all together though. Anywho, what would be better fit for adorning the walls of your home, a place the Holy Spirit resides, than his living, breathing word?
Right?
Therefore, I used a Bible.
From Dollar Tree.
Yes, they sell them there.
Who knew?
Somewhere just shy of 2 am, I hung this on the wall. I pulled the cute bird house out of a closet. It was a gift from two of my favorite people back in my college days. (love you girls!) I intended to snag a can of spray paint soon and go to town on this lovely bird house because this shelf needs some COLOR!
I am thinking something that will coordinate with this, the project that I started tonight.
The wreath of scripture cost me a whopping $2.
Not too shabby for quick re-do.
And it brought me sweet joy!
