Dad and I returned from a relaxing ten days at the lake full of swimming, boating, hiking, and 4th of July activities to jump back into our busy work schedules... Well, we tried... Monday morning came and a few minutes before 8 a giant storm hit followed by, of course, a day long power outage--the largest in Chicagoland's history.

So instead of working I decided to turn Monday into a craft day!

Here are my results:

This was so much easier than I could have ever imagined.. I'll try and post a tutorial sometime soon.
