Floral Arrangement

Happy Thursday!!!
Several years ago I used to own my own dried floral business.  I would spend hours and hours at home creating floral arrangements to sell at local craft fairs and specialty shops.  Then for one reason or another I stopped.  Not really because I didn't enjoy what I was creating but mostly because there wasn't a huge market for dried floral arrangements anymore.  I never realized how much I missed it until the past few days.

While doing my typical daily blog surfing I came across a blog called Diaryoftwocraftygirls.blogspot.com
I usually blog surf for inspiration.  I normally find tons of ideas and am completely in awe of how people think of such magnificent things to create.  Then I go to my craft space and try to create something just as brilliant.  Well let's just say that doesn't happen very often and it certainly didn't happen yesterday.  But I did create another beautiful floral arrangement from a tutorial I purchased on the Diaryoftwocraftygirls.blogspot.com blog.  I didn't have all of the same tools that were used in this tutorial so I just substituted what I had on hand.

At first, I thought I was going to like the floral arrangement with the candy canes better.  But I think this one is my favorite so far!  I love the see through vase with paper curls!  Too much fun!

So now, I can still create floral arrangements but now only with paper!  Two of my favorite things to do all combined into one!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

WOW Wednesday!

Good Morning friends!
I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far!  If not- just remember it's over in a few days!
The project I'm sharing with you today was made from a tutorial written by Leigha Rock.  I came across it while I was blog surfing on Monday.  I knew I just HAD to make one!  Pretty much everything is made from card stock.  It is very time consuming but well worth it!  I didn't take the time to line up the candy canes as I was in a hurry to finish.  The next one I make I will definitely make sure to line them up!

Don't you think it's beautiful?

I plan on making another variety today.  I will share the pictures of it as soon as I get it completed!  As I you can see- it is a lot of work but so worth it!

Happy Wednesday and have a great day!

Perfectly Preserved Treat Jar

Good Morning!
I hope everyone survived the madness of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday!  Did anyone get a fantastic deal on anything?  There sure seemed to be a ton of bargains out there!  I know I keep saying this but I can't believe that it's already the official start of the Holiday season.  Each year it seems to come sooner and sooner.  In no way am I prepared for this!  I don't even have my Christmas decorations out yet.  I feel so behind!

I have a little jar of cuteness to share with you today.  I didn't create the idea but I did alter it as I don't have the Large Oval Punch.  The original idea comes from Kay Kalthoff.  As you can see in my picture below- I used the smallest heart from the Hearts Collection Framelit Dies to cut out my viewing window.  I can't wait to make a bunch more of these for Valentine's Day.  They are super cute and way too easy to make!
I hope you enjoy!!!

Busy, busy, busy!

Good Morning!
Today's post will be short and sweet as I have a TON of things to do before Thanksgiving tomorrow.  Cleaning, grocery shopping, baking- just to name a few!  How about you?  Are you all ready for the big day?  I personally cannot believe that tomorrow is already Thanksgiving.  It seems like just last week we were trick or treating!   Where does the time go?

I was toying around with a few ideas last night when I came up with these:

So simple to make!  I think I like the blue one the best!  Love the Snow Festival DSP!  It's definitely one of my favorites to use this holiday season.  Here are a few more pictures of them:

Have a great day!
