Birthday Gift


(He looks like he has four wings, just the shadow.)

This Dragonfly dropped dead and landed on our patio.
Perfectly intact.
What do you do with such a beautiful, huge bug?
Give it to my Sister-In-Law,
Tamar, as a birthday gift..
She LOVES Dragonflies!
 Remember her wedding?
 He looks great mounted in a shadow box.
Even added some special touches to the bag.

Sometimes God just drops you
a present!

    You are my hero. No only did you repurpose reuse recycle the dead, but you touched it. I would have been screaming for hubby to come clean it up and dispose of it. Seriously, it turned out beautiful.

    Remind me not to drop dead at your house :)

    What a thoughtful gift! I'll take a gift made especially with me in mind over anything store bought any
    day. It turned out so nicely too.

    I really love that, Christine. I found a dragon fly one time, but I didn't think to do that. My younger daughter (Whimsy) love dragon flies and butterflies.

    I like how you take what life hands you, add a dose of creativity, and come up with another special project. I know she will like it so much.

    I am trying to do the same. Care to share 'How to' do and a suggestion for mat, pins or glue to attach dragonfly, etc.
