Angels among us

At 2:30 this afternoon I will be wearing a smile so big my face will think it's on the wrong body. That will be the start of my vacation. My 10 glorious days of not having to be a slave to a time clock.

In honor of the angels who helped me make it through the week I have a little craft project to share with you. One of the girls at work frequently posts things to my facebook wall. It's either a dessert idea, a snarky comment or a craft project.

Recently she posted this picture on my wall

I really liked this so I set out to make my own. I hit Dollar Tree in search of the pieces needed to make one. I couldn't find the exact same things so I made some substitutions.

Here's mine.

The head is glass but I didn't like the glass vases they had and they didn't have any clear glass plates. The vase I chose is a plastic one and the wings are plastic bowls.  I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking this would look nice at night with some lights inside the bottom.

Gibbs did a thorough inspection and he found flaws that he wasn't happy with. He said that the bowls were in a very inconvenient position and there were no treats in them. He recommends that I make immediate alterations to this model.

Cute idea and plastic seems like a good way to go with little furry creatures about!

What a way to end the roughest week of the year...a 10 day vacation. I know you'll enjoy every minute.

Love the angel, but you'd better listen to Gibbs. He's probably right.

Have a fabulous day. Big hugs to you and tons of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
