Tsunami Day Project

Since we had a tsunami warning here on Saturday, my husband was called into work at like 3:30 a.m. That left me at home alone with the kids. The kids were keeping busy by watching cartoons and playing together while I tried to stay informed to the status of the tsunami by watching the news. It's never a good feeling when you don't have your entire family together during times like these. Anyways, since the kids were being "good", it gave me the opportunity to do a little crafting. I found the tutorial for this luminary here and just added a cover to it. I was actually going to add a handle to it but then decided to put a cover on it instead. And I just so happened to have some flameless tealights at home so I was able to light this up right away. This was such a fun project to work on and it came together really fast!
