Shoebox: Storage, Easter Card, Recycled CD Carol Duvall Show : Episode CDS-1645 -- More Projects » By Carol Duvall
More wonderfully creative ideas from you in the Shoebox today, starting out with some photographs of her driveway that Linda Caspry of Troy, Mich., sent in. Linda's friend Cathi Donnelon of California was apparently visiting Linda because it was she who painted rugs on the driveway! Cathi cut sponges cut into circles and squares and used concrete paint to do the deed, and they indeed look wonderful. Linda wrote that she has had people drive in the driveway and suddenly stop thinking that they were about to drive over a rug. But she said even the snowplows haven't damaged them. They are very pretty and certainly eye catching.
Next up was a snapshot from Barbara McHugh of Edwardsville, Ill., who solved some of her crafting material storage problems by buying a small desk at a yard sale then asking her husband to make a top for it, which he did. The item he built is like a large box with several shelves in it, on which Barbara has stashed books and boxes. The plastic boxes hold the stash of stuff that Barbara has collected and books we can assume tell her what to make with it all.
The next item was a card that I put into the Shoebox that I thought might be of interest to the many card makers among our viewers. Sandy Jackson of Some Assembly Required sent me in a card at Easter time to thank me for the segment we had done on her work, and I thought that the card itself was a work of art. Inside was a pop-up of a tiny little Easter basket in which were four eggs...each one of them made like the involved fit-together three-dimensional eggs that Sandy makes. I thought it was quite incredible.
And from Betty Durgin of Crestview, Fla., yet another CD that a viewer received in the mail and could not bear to throw away. Betty did paper embroidery on her CD and apparently has done a number of them, because she said that of all of those that she had done, she had not lost one due to breakage. Betty drilled dozens of 1/32-inch holes through which she pulled her needle and thread. I would say it took patience as well as talent. Very, very pretty.
