Secret Message Acorns!


I'm back in full swing of collecting things again so my head has been swarming with ideas of things to make with all these wonderful nature objects I've been finding.

I just looked out the window to what I thought was giant flakes of snow...  I'm on total high snow alert since what may prove to be the first big winter storm is possibly heading my way :)   But, what I was seeing was not snow at all... it was actually feathers falling slowly!  I looked up and saw a few birds acting casual.  None that I could actually pinpoint as the culprit but the grey feathers did look awfully pretty falling against the wintry yard.  Now that I'm looking out the window again I'm realizing that it is snowing!  yay!

Anyways, I've started making these little acorns out of clay and I decided it would be cool to make a hollowed out area on the inside to hide trinkets or secrets inside of.

I made that set of browner acorns for my Dad and Mary as a Christmas present and I hid a little note inside for each of them.  The other one with the white acorns I made for my sister and I hid some of her tiny frogs in them.  I thought for sure she was going to notice the frogs missing from her shelf of tinies and the jig would totally be up but I slid it past her!


The untrained eye has no idea what lies inside...
Pick up the top to reveal the secret.
The littlest note!

The littlest frogs!
They're about the size of a fingernail!
