Last Friday I traveled to Milwaukee Wisconsin to attend a Women of Faith event. My cousin who has attended these events for years had invited me to go along with her. I had such an awesome and amazing time.
I can't wait to go again.
Another awesome and amazing thing, well maybe not amazing, but it is awesome. Is the shell lamp that I had the idea for, but Jim helped me put together, at least the electrical part of it. I found two old jars tucked away in a box in our basement back in Illinois when we were packing up. I decided to keep them not really knowing what I was going to do with them. I also didn't really know what I was going to do with all the sea shells we collected when we were on Sanibel Island. The jar is old and a bit rusty, but I don't care it has character.
I just love things that are awesome and amazing.
Don't you?




Nice shots. Not sure about that lamp though.

Love the lamp! It turned out great. And it's awesome how it holds shells that you two actually collected. Even better!

Oh, can't help but wonder who all was at the Women of Faith thing...I have never been to one but think I would enjoy it.
I do like your jar/sea shells lamp. Sometimes old just has more character than new.

The lamp is awesome. A great way to use shells that only end up in a box forever. And if you get tired of shells, you can do something else. I have never been to Women of Faith. The event is headed to our area soon. Amy Grant is pretty amazing.

The lamp is a super way to show-off your collection of shells!
