Craft On

I have been in a crafty mood...and paper and wreaths are at the top of my list.

This was my first...made with old book pages and a styrofoam wreath form.

The darker leaves were baked.

Then came this apple, also made from an old book.

This next wreath cause a little more of a stir when Troy say I had cannibalized some sheet music for the cause. But...it wasn't music he played and the wreath turned out awesome. I will post another full photo of the wreath when I have a little more light.

This wreath is made with a scallop punch and brown paper lunch sacks. i love it!

And here is my newest one...made with cream felt roses. I finished this today...but ran out of light to take a photo. Even half done I love it.

It's been so nice to finally feel inspired to really try and decorate our house. We've been here five years and we have had a lot of bare walls. I have more to show, but that's a good start.

What crafts do you have going? Any good links?

I went to craft group again last night. This time it was paper topiaries.

I really like mind turned out. I am planning a wall grouping over the fireplace that is going to be brown and green, so I wanted to bring a little more green into the room.

It's crazy...I have spent the last three years HATING the green in my family room, and now I am brining it back...although just a little!

So Andrea hosted a little craft group last night.

It was REALLY fun, and look what I made!

Best part? All it cost was $3.00 and one evening of fun with the girls.

I am making a set of three, including one more dog and one with bones. It's going to be so cute in the boys' room!

I know.

So I was reading this blog that is written by Becky Higgins, only one of my favorite scrapbookers of ALL TIME! She has such talent and is so creative. Just one more person I want to be when I grow up.

Anyway, she hung these cute easter baskets in her kitchen and it inspired me to try my own version. So I hung these little eggs. I like em.






And here are my new Easter plates for my plate rack. Can I just say that I LOVE Target? Especially the new Super Target! Woo hoo. (How sad is that? The biggest excitment in my life is that they opened a new Target. Oh well.)
