When I was a little girl, I would pick weeds, (I thought they were flowers), all clinched in my fist, I would give them to my mother, in a vase the little weeds would live, until.. It made me feel good inside. As an adult, I still pick weeds, by picking ugly or castoff item's and creating something nice and useful. It still makes me feel good inside.

Old Horseshoe Make Over
I found this old horseshoe in my stash of junk and decided to do something with it. I first sanded most of the rust off and washed it real good, let it dry, and then sprayed it with my trusty spray paint, Krylon Ocean Blue, I think thats the name of it. After it dryed, I wrapped it with silver ribbon, making sure I had enough to make a handle. I then added some small white silk roses and glass beads in the same color blue, a silver heart button cover and a cute little dragonfly. The dangle's are strung together with a little fishing line, then I added the big creamy rose. It still has 2 old nails stuck on it. Now thats some cute junk!!
