The fall or Autumn Season is truly beautiful here in the mitten state. Taking road trips across the state reveals miles upon miles of shocking color as the sugar maples and burning bushes put on the show of the year!
This is my back yard where it seems all the trees turn yellow. I wanted to make something that celebrates a serious yellow.
So I made another yo-yo necklace.
I took the pictures outside in beautiful cool crisp air.
And then I went for a roll in the leaves…
Such Fun!!
On Sept. 14th I posted about how I had received my first ever junk mail! Read about it here.
The package had mostly copper wire insulation as IvyTalagaDesigns (who sent the package) makes jewelry from reclaimed copper wiring. There were also some random bits and bobs that had no purpose… yet.
This is where I come in! It’s my calling to make treasures from junk! So here are a few of creations.
Flower hair clips made from copper wire insulation 
the long blue spacers are copper wire coating.
made from the scrap silver findings I received.
There is still a lot of insulation left, and plenty of ideas.
There are also some fun and exciting findings still to see!
Check back in and see what else is cooking!
I should wear a cape! But honestly I have a vendetta against the stuff, and it’s relentless! I think if all of man-kind were wiped out in some cataclysmic disaster all that would remain would be cockroaches, Twinkies and JUNK MAIL!!!
Anyway, here are my methods, mad though they may seem.
I roll paper beads! I show those catalogs who boss!
okay who’s the slightly less important boss…
inside those little rolled paper beads are advertisements for services you don’t want and products you don’t need!
I mean seriously who needs a contraption that sharpens your knives AND polish your shoes WHILE brushing your teeth!
So this is what I do. Well some of what I do.
This is how I combat those mass mailers who in the face of rising postage costs still send out ridiculous amounts of high quality images of low quality goods!
Mwah Ha ha ha ha haaaa!

The Children made it worth it. The joy they had, the LOVE they showed towards me, even though I was there to love them, they out did me every time!
