SPARKLING SAND DOLLAR
Last week I posted my Floating Gallery Wall that was inspired by the sand dollars sent to me by Donna at Distressed Donna Down Home. I saved just one of those sand dollars for another project. I wish I had more because I love them. I need to live near the beach. In fact, I'm sure it is my destiny to eventually give coastal living a try.
Maybe I could kill two birds with one stone and have a cottage by the sea. I always thought it would be awesome to live in a seaside cottage. When I was a kid, one of my dreams was to live in a log cabin in the mountains by a stream. Did it. Loved it. Then I thought it would be fun to live in a little farmhouse in the country by a creek. Did it. Loved it. Obviously, I'm a girl who feels like making dreams a reality is perfectly within my grasp. Why not?
In the meantime, I'll continue dreaming about the coastal life in my beach themed master bedroom where I like to surround myself with sparkly, beachy, dreamy decor...like this bejeweled sand dollar.

When the sun catches it, it twinkles just enough. Anything that sparkles or twinkles and does NOT involve glitter makes me smile. Glitter makes me twitch.
Now I do realize that this project is nothing more than sticking on a few gems to a painted sand dollar and stringing it up with some beads and a meaningful charm. I also realize that this is not an original idea. You can find a ton of these used as wedding favors and Christmas ornaments on pinterest. You can even buy yourself one on several etsy shops for around $30.00 plus shipping. But I decided to just make one for myself....for free, because someone was nice enough to send me some sand dollars and I already had gems and beads. Besides, I need to save my money for that little seaside cottage that I'm dreaming of.
