It's only Words...

...and words are all I have **continue humming and feeling glad that no-one can actually hear me** LOL

Do you ever get one of those moments...you know the ones...whilst doing something else an object catches your eye and all thoughts of what you were going to do fly out of your head. Well I had one of those.

I have a notice board just inside of the room that is sort of considered to be my craft room (dumping ground would be more accurate a description). On said noticeboard I have had some wooden words which were 'must have' buys but then I couldn't think what to do with them - they ended up pinned to the board and that is where they stayed.
I think if I rummaged more in the 'craft' room I would find some more but on the board were - Create...
...Dream...and Angel.

Also on the board are some pics of The Professionals (always had a bit of a thing about Bodie - Lewis Collins) and Robbie Williams. Seeing the pics of Robbie and the word 'Angel' a light bulb came on. I had some shabby blue & brown PPs and some rub-ons and odd letters & stickers left over from a project. I stuck the word to the back of the PP and once dry cut out carefully with a craft knife - I did consider inking the edges but decided I didn't want it that shabby. Some of the rub-ons were applied and a couple of stickers. I used up a couple of small bits of ribbon that I found in the scraps box to tie round the letters...and would you believe it - I found an "S" amongst the odd letter stickers. The enamel daisy hanging from the bottom is a Making Memories tote charm.

The finished item...
...Angels - very fitting don't you think.

Wonder what it will take to spark the imagination with the other words...............................

Gorgeous Toni! I'm sure the others will look fab too :D You've inspired me by the way - a long time ago you made a comment about crocheting my own flower embellishments, and I've finally taken the plunge and picked up a crochet hook and some yarn, so thank you and watch this space!
