If I wasn't so far away I'd join all of you for the totem making party. I've used a few glass shades I've gotten at the thrift store. They work out really good. Today I got a round white candle holder to use as a base. I was going to buy a wooden light house bird house and put one of those phone insulators on top for the light, then ended up putting it back on the shelf. I saw such a neat stand in one of the worker's cars and told her I needed that for my craft things. She was holding it for another worker and if she didn't want it she would give it to me. Got so excited, but couldn't wait around for her to come back from her lunch break so lost out on it. Nothing but junk in the dumpsters either. We have a GW store close by, but their prices seemed too high. Maybe I should give them another try.
Waiting to see what you made, Sharon...................
