Decorating Shoes

Ten years ago I used to decorate shoes. These were my good luck shoes I wore to trade shows. I am so glad I save stuff. I see little velvet maryjane style shoes at the wallmarts now, and I was tempted to do it again. Give it a try! (use carpet thread)

What a great idea! I heard someone say that we can tell alot about a person by their shoes. I can tell that you are special!

What a cute shoes you have made!!! I love the idea! I like your other artwork a lot too, very "french and chic"
You asked my blog name "lumivalkoista" in english, it means "white as snow". In wintertime we have a lot of snow here in Finland and I love it =) Have a nice Sunday!

How cute are they!
I think I might take up your challenge and see what I can come up with.
Would be a fun--one time--meme.

Thanks for your sweet comments,

Great idea to make your own a one-of-a-kind accessory. I will try this.
