Craft Challenge 2013 - Key to my heart - PJ



I might be taking this months challenge a bit too literally!
 
 In case you missed it, I posted last week that T and I have bought our first house.
 
If I have anything to say about it this will be our last house.
 
Moving is a pain!
 
When we moved in the seller had, so nicely, left a bottle of champagne in the fridge for us.
 
We enjoyed that bubbly the night we closed and officially came "home"
 
I saved the cork.
 
Who are we kidding, I have a craft blog, of course I saved the cork!
 
I thought it was appropriate to make a keychain out of the cork.
 
 
Here's what you need to make a wine cork keychain.
 
Cork
Keyring
Mini eye screws
(optional) Sharpie

 
Insert the eye screw into the cork, I did several and none of them broke.  Just go slow and don't force it.  Let the threads of the screw do their job.
 
 
I wanted to commemorate the date of our closing on this particular cork.
 
Now just assemble the key ring as usual.
 

 
If you're lucky enough to have a deliciously kitschy key holder in your new kitchen then go ahead and display that baby proudly!
 
So there we area, another month of craft challenge done.
 
If you haven't already please check out Rosie's Mixed Tape Twist and Anja's Mini Book.
 
I hope to see you all next week for a link up of your romantic craft ideas!

Finally! {A big reveal}

I can't keep a secret.
 
True.
 
I give presents early, I give hints until people guess, I just can't keep a secret!
 
So the only  way for me to keep THIS secret was to simply not post a lot.
 
Well that plus the time that this secret project sucked out of me!
 
Without a huge long post (which is coming) I'll just share this picture.
 
 
 
So hello to the next 30 years of my life!
