A week or two ago I was sitting on my living room floor messing around with some vintage ice skates I got at the second hand store for $2.
I was half gloating and half scheming.
I would have been tempted to try them on, but I have a very nice pair of skates already. Plus these were purchased to make something similar to what my friend Lisa made at You Made Me Ink. I do love ice skating but I like decorating more. ;-)
I was having a mild panic attack on giving them up though or even hooking them both together for hanging. Although Pinterest was just a click away, it was way easier to text Lisa and ask if she used one skate for her project or two.
I was much relieved to find out I had two to work with! One for me and one for a giveaway!
The nice part about this skate is that you can prop it up and insert the flower swag. I made it separate for easy of sending. Could also easily be hung with some command strips too.
So, comment away! I have one all boxed up and ready to send your way should you be the lucky winner! Lori will announce the winner on her blog tomorrow!
