Fall Wreath for a Dollar!

[image error]Happy fall everyone!

This fall wreath is a very simple craft I made for only one dollar! I was at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and in their sewing department, they had a couple of plastic zip-lock bags full of flower parts for a dollar. It wasn’t a very pretty bag, but the best deals take a bit of imagination and seeing everything’s potential.

Anyways, I bought the bag, sorted the flower parts by color family, cut out a large cardboard donut shape from a box I had, and started gluing flower parts to it in a kindergarten crafts class style. To hang it up I just tied a ribbon around it. It was super fun, a little messy, but it makes me smile every time I come home.

The best part is that I still have half a bag of flower parts left for a Spring wreath. Super cool!

I’m Back

[image error]It has been a while since I have written a blog. Part of that was dealing with a 6-month transition with an unreliable internet solution and part of it was the embarrassment of having blogged about how to buy a car and still buying a real lemon. Old car is gone, new more reliable car has been purchased. We live and learn!

Well, I’m back now. We have moved into a beautiful two-bedroom apartment in which I am really enjoying decorating and I am home-schooling my son full-time. So good-bye graphic design career for now. Even so, I am going to have plenty of little tidbits to blog about with new crafts, projects, and cooking experiments in plans. In blogging I get to learn all sort of new things as well. So forgive my absence, continue to forgiven my ignorance in many of my posts, and enjoy some of my wanderings!
