From trash to...

well, trash!

I have this awesome thing called a

ScrapMaBob.

You're saying a "scrapama-what?"

I know. Weird name. GREAT PRODUCT!

It screws onto the edge of your worktable

and holds your cup/drink and that black bag---

holds your trash!

It's completely portable-so you can take it to classes,

crops-wherever!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Theresa and I were taught you DO NOT

under any circumstances

put your drink cup on a class worktable!

It was forbidden!

And while I may do it at home-

I always worried that a cat would come along

and there would go my coffee, coke-whatever.

Not any more!

But that black bag?

Boring!

It had to go.

And since the ScrapMaBob people

very nicely sent me on tiny part I managed to loose

and I fixed it today

and today was my Easter holiday day off...

I decided today was the day!

So I raided my fabric stash

and found some ribbon

and got to sewing.

Then I decided it needed some bling.

I've had these flowers FOREVER---

and I am not sure if they will wash-or not-but no matter

a little hot glue, some gems and it's good to go!

here's the before again...I even lined the inside-no ragged edges!

and here's the after...whatcha think?

Now that black bag is kinda a light light plasticky material

that would wipe clean easily and not stain

My fabric is flannel--so I will either throw a small plastic bag inside

or be sure I just toss paper in there (no candy wrappers!)

I do have a plastic tote bag from JoAnns

that has dragonflies on it---that is the perfect material for this project--

so the next time I'm in town---

I will be picking up one or two!

The cup holder holds mega size coffee cups or drinks...

and here's my new fav-

Zero Sparkling (carbonated) Kiwi Strawberry water!

Their other flavors are awesome to

and NO CALORIES!

 On another note-

here's a photo of our living cross yesterday...

the flowers had wilted a bit by the time I got back up there

but it is still pretty I think...

That's it for today!

Time to finish cooking supper

and take care of cat boxes (ugh!)

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
