I am in love with this! I saw some metallic orange ones for sale too. I think any color would look great!

Get the instructions over at The DIY Show Off.
I even liked it before they made it look hammered. Nice and shiny!

What a time to celebrate here at WordPress because we have a star among us! Not only is he celebrating his Birthday, he is also celebrating the debut of his first novel. Congratulations, Gary! I hope you have a wonderful day and much success with your new career.
I figure since we are WordPress users, we should promote our own peeps. And he’s a nice guy too.
Let me introduce “If I Never” by Gary William Murning.

Amazon description: “Price is used to living within the shadow of threatening friend George – forever in the fear that not to follow his lead will end with a beating. However, new developments mean his life finally seems to be moving from the dormant and gaining some positive development. Before long, though, George is back and Price finds himself following his friend once more. But this time it is different – secrets are discovered, decisions are to be made and life and perspective will never be the same again. If I Never is a novel about asking questions but being unsure if you want to know the answers.”
A sample Chapter can be read here.
You can order it here.
All the best you you, Gary.

How many times have you struggled to hide an unsightly bra strap from your shoulder? How many times have you not worn something because your bra strap would show? Now you can show it off!
What a great idea!
