D.I.Y.

For months I have spent minutes each morning trying to find the perfect accessory, when found, 9 time out of 10 it is tangled with 13 other necklaces so I leave necklaceless. Pain! I hate jewelry boxes, they are often so ugly and confusing with slots and drawers that never seem to really do their job. So with my dear Nathan out of town until Monday :( (he was supposed to be home tonight) I did this with my time:

1. Dumped out jewelry on bed

2. got a wooden wine box

3. got some tacks

4. pushed tacks into box

5. hung up my jewelry

6. screwed 2 screws into the back

7. tied a ribbon between the screws

(picture frame wire would've been ideal)

8. hung it on the wall

I am content with my rustic solution and I have killed 2 birds with one stone: jewelry box at eye level!! and "art" to cover the negative space left because I transfered my Paris Pics to the kitchen. I am so productive with Nathan gone, he completely distracts me. (and thats a good thing)
