Diamond Ring for Charity a Gift or a Goof Up? A little charity could go a long way. Or be a big mistake. A fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House became a little more exciting when volunteers discovered a diamond ring in a stash of donated shoes. The find occurred on June 28 when the San Diego Chapter of the children's charity held a a city-wide fundraiser called the Red Shoe Drive.
As part of the drive, volunteers position themselves throughout the city holding a replica of the famous fast-food clown's red boots as a drop box for donations. In emptying the boots, a volunteer discovered a gift inside the men's size 14 red shoe that was possibly too good to be true -- a diamond wedding band. "We often find generous items during our donation drives," said CEO Chuck Day.
It's believed that the ring may have simply fallen off as a donor was dropping money into the boot. Day says that the charity has received about a dozen calls to claim the ring, but no one has come close to remotely matching the ring's description.

Quilling - Turning Paper Strips into Intricate Artworks. Quilling has been around for hundreds of years, but it’s still as impressive and popular now as it was during the Renaissance. The art of quilling first became popular during the Renaissance, when nuns and monks would use it to roll gold-gilded paper and decorate religious objects, as an alternative to the expensive gold filigree. Later, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a favorite pass-time of English ladies who created wonderful decorations for their furniture and candles, through quilling.
Basically, the quilling process consists of cutting strips of paper, and rolling them with a special tool. It sounds simple enough, but special skill is required to create more advanced shapes like marquises, arrowheads or holly leaves. All through the years, the art of quilling has remained almost unchanged, but new specialty supplies now allow quilling masters to create anything from detailed 3-D figures to wall-sized museum installations.

I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top. Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold.
Put glue on the outside of the 0.5" tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Upend the bag so the 2" flap is now up. Put glue on both flaps and fold them inward to form the bottom of the bag. Fuck Yeah, Make Stuff! Recently I wanted to add more interesting vegetables to my dishes to encourage myself to eat more healthy. After some research I ended up buying the brieftons spiralizer as it seemed like a good little tool for producing spirals of vegetables - just what I want.
That, combined with some good recipes, has made me a happy full girl for more than one evening. Here is what you can do to prepare a stir fried chicken with vegetables dish. I know I’m not that creative; the recipe is what I found here. I’ve included some photos taken during the process to make it easy for you to follow along. Ingredients 1/4 lb zucchini 1/4 lb carrots 2 spring onions 1 lb skinless chicken breasts 1 red chili pepper 4 tbsp peanut oil 3 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp soy sauce coriander Salt and pepper Steps Cut the chicken into 1” thick pieces.
Peel the carrots and wash the zucchini, and then use the brieftons slicer to create all those interesting looking vegetable spirals. Then mix the oyster sauce and some soy sauce in a bowl. Free printables from SweetlyScrapped - Sweetly Scrapped. Gifts.
Shopping. Designer Outlet Roermond: Startseite. Song Lyric Wall Art / D.I.Y. Project. A couple weeks ago, I found a paint-by-number at an unbeatable price. I can't pass these things up even though I already owned this particular design. I thought that I could maybe use it to make a fun D.I.Y., but my new rule is that all thrifts that I purchase with the intent of restyling need to get done right away. I have way too many half finished projects in my life. With that little bit of motivation I came up with a fun D.I.Y. to display some of my favorite song lyrcis in our newlywed home. Here's how I did it... I displayed our piece in our bedroom, on Jeremy's side of the bed. A couple weeks ago, I found a paint-by-number at an unbeatable price. Shopping. Shopping/fashion. Shopping.

Unique Steampunk Insects. Since the late 1990′s style steampunk is becoming more and more popular, and not only in the literature. Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by enthusiasts into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical “steampunk” style. And often this stylization gives very unexpected results. Like, for example, art works of american sculptor Mike Libby. His studio Insect Lab make robots from dried insects.
Insects for his works come from around the world, from Africa, China, New Guinea, Brazil, Texas, etc.
