Thanks for your comments guys - does the heart good to be encouraged :o)

How about using metallic markers? or White pens? Make a mobile with prayers/wishes/memories/quotes/scripture verses. Not for above a crib mind you - there'd be murder if one dropped off :oP

I was thinking of using modern floral ideas and using for birthdays ...

And a very blessed Christmas to you and all your families as well :o)

i may not have seen this in time for 2008 (and i wouldnt mind but i have a load of them, wooden and metal!) but i know what will be on my tree for 2009, what a lovely idea!!!! well done!!!

What a novel idea!!! I have tonnes of these rings... I'm going to steal your idea and make gorgeous decs for Christmas!!!!! Maybe even an Easter tree!!

i've got a great idea thanks to you. i use them for pot pourri holders. smells great

Fantastic idea! I've already added it to list of activities we do in the 'special needs' centre where I work. We will do them for our Christmas Fair in 09. Thanks for the idea.

Amazing!
 

These are just fabulous. Have a bunch of these and was going to get rid of them but not now! Excellent work and thanks for the inspiration.

curtain rings
 

I have just found a bag of these curtain rings in my shed. I can't wait to try out this idea on them. Mega! (Yes, I know it's only May, but a gal has got to be ready)

Green Christmas
 

I have decided to kick off this year's Green Christmas by bumping up this great idea from last year. It's time to get the thinking hats on and come up with ideas for repurposed, recyled Christmas presents and decorations.
So BUMP!

bump
 

well done unapam, I had quite forgotten about these... anyone else got any ideas? :) I made home made comunion bombonieri (kinda like wedding favours that the Italians use for all important occassions), its not quite repurposing as craft ideas, but cost a hell of a lot less than if I had bought em... I must put em up and see if anyone can find a way to make em christmassy....

I love that idea, you are very creative. I have lots of curtain rings in my attic.
