This is my donation entry to a Mother/Daughter fundraiser for Etsynj Team member, katylua. Would you believe that I ripped the Mother brooch apart about 6 times until I thought I had it just right... Then in a last minute gesture to make it especially pop - I attached the mom & daughter pin together to create the mom flower pin pictured. That left me the challenge to recreate a daughter pin; As you can see, for that, I paired a covered button with more fabric scraps and viola... daughter can style with mom! LOL

Happy Easter - Happy Resurrection Sunday

Depending on where you are in your walk, you may say something different. In any case, I am glad that this day has meaning for me. Because He gave his life, I may live. Because He rose with all power in His hand, I am redeemed from my sins. Thank you Jesus for your life, your love & your blood.

In some small, tiny way, it's how I feel about my craft. It may seem insignificant to others... but I see the beauty in what is deemed trash, junk and the discarded. By no means do I have all the answers, and many times I fail.. but the little I do can be appreciated. And that's worth it. ;)

So what have you preserved today?

OK - Let us try again... Why do you Treasure Hunt?

I've been inspired to try once more. There are so many creative treasure hunters out there.. that I decided to once again chronicle my journeys. I frequent thrift shoppes more than I talk about. I purchase something new 3-4 times a week. However, I never feel like posting or even writing about my new found glory. For me it's about the thrill of the hunt. What about you?

Does it end after the conquest is fulfilled? Does it end with the conquer? I thought that was reserved just for the men... Wait a minute, what are we talking about here... (tongue in cheek) LOL

So, what's your experience?
