Game night

Mom and I were out junkin' and thriftin' over the weekend. I found this great exercise Twist Board at a thrift store for $3. It has a swivel on the bottom so I had planned on using it as a lazy susan. I just love the graphics on it so I had to get it. I had a few ideas for my lazy susan, but I started having a lot of fun with the games theme so I continued with that. I'm going to do a couple more themes when I have time, but for now it's games.



I printed the Monopoly rules on some vellum and put that around the large candle. In the dish is extra Sorry playing pieces I had. Sometimes I get after myself for having so much stuff, but when a project comes together like this, I'm so happy I've collected all of these things.


The spring has the Clue case file and the candlestick attached to it. I put pencils inside the test tube inside the spring. I just keep finding more and more uses for those springs.


Monopoly coasters



Wine charms made out of Poker chips. I had gotten these poker chips probably 2 years ago for 50 cents. I knew I would eventually find a use for them.



The only new item in this project was the Twist Board. Everything else was in my craft stash. Hooray for being a pack rat!
