I love the holidays! Especially the fantastic opportunity for crafting all sorts of projects they provide! Below are some photos from recent holiday endeavors!



This is my first ever attempt at crafting a real flower arrangement (like not just throwing some flowers in a vase but actually building an arrangement "made")! It was for a holiday themed wedding shower at my mom's house! Betty gave Leighann and me instructions (and was honestly the mastermind behind the project), but it turned out so well! We used cranberries, two dozen white roses, and greenery from the garden. I wish I had a picture of it from the party, but above is one from my camera just after we finished working on it in Betty's kitchen.


What's Christmas time without a Christmas tree? Above is our tree this year! I love the oversized gold stars!





I also made our own Christmas cards this year, and I think they turned out really well! I found some cool scrapbook paper and glued it to plain white card stock to give it some weight. Next I sized down the above photograph and attached it to the card. I then printed out a holiday message on red card stock and glued it to the bottom of the photo. Last, I punched two holes to the top of the card, threaded it with red ribbon and tied it in a bow. Voila! I'll try to take a pic of the finished product soon! Hope our friends and family liked them!
