I’ve been trying to come up with things to make with all of the little, polished stones from my tumbles. I thought these would be fun, and great gifts. I’ve got a few other ideas for designs, maybe a tree of stones with actual wood, etc. Thanks for looking!

Very creative and really cute! Thanks for sharing.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

The "littles" and the "Ooops ! There's a small but deep hole that I missed seeing but it's pretty nice otherwise" are currently going into a large empty Miracle Whip jar ... their fate to be determined at a later date.

I had ideas--until I looked at your photos. My ideas are now in the "mundane" category and will slowly crawl back under the rock they came out of. I *love* your dragonflies!
