Let Your Light Shine

Check out this lamp that I made today! 

I had a lamp that just wasn't my style...

so I decided to use some materials I have been collecting to give it a quick makeover. 

I found a bunch of lace on freecycle that someone was planning to throw out.
A sweet mom from my son's preschool class gave me these turquoise beads that were a necklace her daughter had broken (thanks, Grace!).
I had some old twine and some old paper, paint and buttons. 

Mix all of that together, and this is what you get!  What do you think?
