How I met my husband.

You havent heard from me lately

because I am back in school.

I am super busy with six classes.

In my English class, we were asked to write

a reflective essay, telling about an event in our lives that

really changed us and helped us to learn something.

I chose the story of how I met my husband

and thought you may like to hear the story too.

Go here to read it.

Pennants Inspired by Beatles Lyrics

This will be a quick post.

Another wedding decor project...

I made another one similar.

You can find that tutorial here.

This one is different in only two ways.

1. I used a smaller set of foam stamps

2. I distressed the top triangle with distressing ink.

Otherwise, they are the same.

I am keeping this one and hanging it in

 Miss Estella's room when the wedding is over.

(I am ready)

I just had to share because I 

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Scrap Paper Roses

This project is super easy.

All you need is some scraps of paper and scissors.

Start by cutting out a round "cloud" shape.

Like these:

Then, cut a scalloped edged spiral all the way to the center of your paper...Like this:

Next, starting from the outside edge,

begin rolling the paper up very tightly.

I used a safety pin. The curves you've cut 

into your shape will contour nicely into a beautiful little rose.

Stop rolling when you get to the center of your shape.

The last little part from the center of your "cloud"

will flatten nicely into the outside of your flower.

If you like, now would be a good time to add a spot of glue.

When you stop rolling, your rose should stay together.

If you want your flower to open more, press lightly on the center.

NOTE: Make sure you cut your layers about the same size

or it will not stay together.

When you are done this is what they should look like:

I love them...so much I had to take more pictures...

Now...what should I do with these little beauties?
