GTO Roadtrip: Saturday

Several of the GTO's caravanned to Kentucky to the Corvette Museum, which contained lots of interesting information & super cool cars. We came back to our hotel in Nashville to rest before the GTO dinner. About 38 GTO's came. Chris won a door prize goodie bag with some gift certificates, a computer bag, & a jacket. Two of the GTO's have broken down and 1 had a wreck after leaving Saturday night. Hopefully, everyone else will have safe trips.

What about having it at your house or the park for free, hello people? Instead of the Elvis...

Earring Holder A few years ago, while visiting my sister, I noticed her earring holder. She said she bought it from "a girl who make them." A few months later, I was needing birthday gifts for some girlfriends so I tried to remember what I saw at my sister's house and re-created it. Supplies: window screening from the hardware store - it comes in big rolls but you only need a little dowel rod 4 wooden dowel rod balls ribbon hot glue paint First, cut your dowel rod into 2 12 inch pieces, then take your dowel rods and balls and paint them whatever color you like.
