These new silk flowers are awesome.  Love the burlap/lace, and the vintage inspired fabric flowers too.

Cute way to use 6" deco mesh ribbon!

Fun way to use deco mesh ribbon on a Christmas Holiday teardrop shaped door hanging. I'm sure someone has thought of this design before me but since I tie regular round wreaths all day long, I sometimes like to experiment. On this one I used a 6" red mesh with a contrasting 2" white mesh ribbon.  To finish it off, I added these cute little felt Santa ornaments.

To make this cutie, just begin looping in your design. Use pins or hot glue to secure it into place. Add your ornaments and "Viole"!  Really cute! Please visit my Pintrest page to see more!

Quote of the Day

Good Morning! I just love this quote of the day I found on Pintrest and posted from http://rishikajain.com/2013/10/12/thought-for-the-day-4/

 

The Great White Pumpkin

 Here are 2 really cool pumpkin arrangements I made. They are both very large and would make a great decoration for someones porch or entryway :-) 

My personal fave.

It's Thanks Giving Day!

So it's Thanks Giving Day here in America and even though I woke up with a pounding headache, I'm determined to make it an AWESOME day.  I had planned to start my very first blog ever on this day and that's what I'm going to do, (she says while grabbing the Advil bottle).

First, I want to give thanks for the many blessings in my life.  I'm SO grateful to live in the United States of America, the most amazing country in the world. Things don't always go my way, sometimes they are downright awful.  But I know I can make everyday a new beginning.  I'm so grateful for places like Google where every day people like myself can share ideas and thoughts with others all over the world. I'm grateful for my friends and family, our health (minus said headache) and our blessings and abundance. 

Wishing everyone out there, weather you celebrate this holiday or not, a most wonderful Thanks Giving Day.  Never pass up a chance to be grateful!
