Mossy Wreath Question

At the risk of being a "fart in a skillet" as my dad says, here's one more thought:

While scouting out the best deal for some grapevine wreaths I came across this:

Check out the link for more pictures. I really like it...what do you think? Would anyone like to do these instead? I'm fine doing the wreath of course, I just really liked this and thought I would throw it out there. Seriously it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you still want to do the wreath. Comment on this email and tell me either wreath or letter. Thanks!

Date Change!

Due to a lot of us having Spring break plans and birthday parties, we would like to move craft night to the next

Wednesday, April 13.

All those in favor say "Aye"!

Thank you!

Mossy Wreaths it is!

Mossy Wreaths -

So, according to the poll most of us want to do the mossy wreaths. I’m going to get started on gathering things this week. I have a feeling round wreaths will be easiest to find so I’ll be looking for those. I will also find some garden bugs and accessories as seen in the photos.

Decoupage Eggs -

The second favorite was the decoupage eggs. I think we will have time to do both of these projects so I’m going to look for some eggs or maybe balloons also.

You will defiantly need your glue guns this month - so stock up on glue sticks, and bring some modge-podge if you have some. I’ll have some available here also.

Head count -

So right now I am expecting:

Amy, Ashley, Kirsten, Elizabeth, Lori, Carrie, and Me.

I am not expecting:

Rebecca who has become an Accountant’s Widow until April 15th (tax day) and Kendall and Callie who have retired with the old folks and are collecting Social Security.

Please let me know by Thursday if you won’t be able to make it!

I will send a final detailed email next Sunday.

See ya chicks soon!

April 411

 

First, one more idea. I think these would be fun to have and make. So mull that over for a second….

Now…..

I’ve put a poll at the top of the blog. I’m allowing multiple votes. You get 2 votes (only 2 please!) So here’s what I want you to do. Pick your 2 favorites, or if you only like one thing use both your votes for it.  I hope this doesn't backfire….I just think it will give us a better idea of what we want…

If we choose the apothecary jars I think we’ll make something to go in them, and after the poll closes I’ll put the options in a second poll.

More to come after the poll.

Poll closes March 20!!!

A few more ideas to bounce off the group... Growth Charts. Do you all have these for your kiddos? I like the idea of having a portable growth chart that can move from house to house. This could even be a baby shower gift for those that have older kids.

These would be so cute if we made these and put them in an apothecary jar.

Spring Pillows

I'm so glad we did a pillow night! I have been wanting to make some floral/polka dot pillows for a long time! I am loving the sewing projects now that I am not afraid of my sewing machine :)
...and just for the record I did not sew the yellow flower pillows, those I bought!




Baylor loves the 'Green Ball' Pillow :)

Is spring here yet?

I don't know about you, but I am SO ready for spring. Here are a few things I found today that made me happy, and can maybe get the wheels turning in our heads for ideas for April.







I found all of these at this link
