| Here is a quick and easy little craft to make for the garden. You just need a good sized rock, some flat sided gems/marbles and some strong glue. Form and glue your house number onto the rock and set in your garden. These are flat marbles I've had left over from other projects. I originally was thinking of adding a clear colour in between all the blue ones but for now have decided to leave it as it. What do you think?

| Very cleverly done. I'm adding this to my "to do" list because I love anything done with glass globs. Frou |
