It's been a rainy, cold day here in Central New York. Everyone in my house has been napping, and it's dark and dreary. <br /><br />As I sat <em><strong>staring</strong></em> at the peanut butter cookies on the counter, I decided to do something to amuse myself, other than <em><strong>eat</strong></em> the peanut butter cookies that are sitting on the counter. Great willpower, eh?! <br /><br />Yesterday I made a sunburst mirror for my sister (<a href="http://happyhouseandhome.blogspot.com/2013/04/diy-sunburst-mirror-under-8.html">go here</a>), and mentioned the possibility of adding some "bling" to a sunburst. Well, I have a sunburst, and I love it, but it's a little plain for me. (<a href="http://happyhouseandhome.blogspot.com/2013/03/sunburst-mirror.html">go here</a>).  And since I have nothing to lose, and nothing better to do...
