She is already two thirds finished with the challenge, with two creative, accomplished and thoughtful gifts to show us! Made from a selection of items which most people would probably toss.
First up, she renovated an old wood frame, using decorative paper, a ribbon, rusty wire and a rusted metal ladybug. Wait, let me correct that. A rusted metal ladybird.

I love how she took a mishmash, and whipped up a custom piece that looks like something you'd buy in a specialty shop. Read all about the thought behind the gift (and the sweetest little Puppy of Doom) here.
Her 2nd project made me squeak out loud when I saw it. She used these craptastic - er, these darling little hair clips, which she has christened The Mauve Plastic Flowers of Doom:

And turned them into these hip and adorable hair ornaments!

Aren't they great? I just love this transformation. I would wear them, and would definitely love to get them as a gift. Here's the link to see how she did it.
Steff, you are the coolest. I am so thrilled you're going to be sharing your creativity with the world. And I know from your emailed hints you have something unique up your sleeve for number three. I am on the edge of my seat.
And speaking of The Mauve Plastic Flowers of Doom, here's another update just in - the second project from Neccie's Creations. I sent those boring mauve flowers to several of our craftestants, hoping for a real variety of ideas. I'm thrilled that Neccie came up with something wonderfully different - and really really cute.
Thanks, you guys - I mean it. You are making this so fun!
