WOYWW 30th March 2011

My work desk today has small bits on it... I am trying to make up some dangly charms so what you can see are my efforts so far!
The little bottles were a brilliant find last weekend when Chris and I went to a new Dollar store that has just opened in Okotoks, which is about 25 minutes away from Calgary. 
You get 6 wee bottles all filled with decorative beads or glitter and each packet was a $1.00!!  Yes, Tim Holtz fans, eat your heart out... these babies were a bargain!! ;)  Bet they aren't there the next time I go...
Short and sweet this week, I have a pile of chipboard squares that need my attention after I finish playing with the bottles and mini books!!
Pop on over to the Queen of the Desks, Julia, for the list of people who reveal all on a Wednesday.

  20. Although it looks like fun, I don't have the patience to work with such small charms.

  30. You lucky ducky, what a marvellous bargain. Once you have finished with the contents they would make gorgeous little 'message in a bottle' thingamijigs!

  31. you can get similar over here for a pound,

    I couldn't find wooden cotton reels thoguh so you box has sweetex in instead, but then I think you prefer hemasetas?

    oh well, you'll like Kruger for sure,

    the frog is actually a magnifying glass form Amy - and I have had need of it today because Minxy has stolen my glasses so I am blind,

    my art is gonna be interesting till I get my eyes back...
