@mary I have been stashing all kinds of silverware to make things out of. I have seen the bracelets, rings and windchimes. I want to make some of these crosses. I also saw a clock that was pretty cool too!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have so enjoyed everyone's creative replies. I am hooked on hometalk. Just need more hours in the day to do all this great stuff
