CEA's progress report #7
#44. Get Janet to teach me how to handle our blog.
Janet is usually my teacher on all-things-computer-related, but since we're separated by time and space, I've learned how to operate the blog by trying. So far, so good, so I'm giving myself credit for #44.
#59. Paint candlesticks black and glue gorgeous shells to the tops
I've admired the shells on stands I've seen in catalogs but have been shocked at the prices. One day I noticed that the stands looked a lot like candlesticks. I bought wooden candlesticks at Michael's and painted them black, then used a hot-glue gun to glue shells to the tops. The challenge came in finding just the right spot on the shell that would allow a good bond and present the shell at its best angle. We placed the shells on the mantel in the library as part of our shell decorations for the luncheon on Saturday.
PS: I learned how to insert a photo!
