The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there.

I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out!

So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it.

Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. 

This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%!







So pretty! So pleased!

Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

I want to make one too, but like you, I'm not spending $100+ for it... I'm thinking of catching after Christmas sales, then I'll have it later years

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Home Sweet Home

I received a box in the mail yesterday from my brother and sister-in-law and what was in it was something I wasn't expecting, but that completely overwhelmed me. See, in April I got the heartbreaking news that my childhood home in Summit was torn down. It was so hard to see my home in ruins. I never thought they'd tear that house down, and I was hopeful that with every visit to South Dakota, I could go see the place that holds so many warm memories for me. But not everything lasts forever, and it's now torn down to the ground, and from what I understand another house sits in it's place. Tony snuck out to the wreckage and grabbed me a piece of wood from our home. I opened the box and I started to sob uncontrollably. It means so much to me that my brother not only went out to get a piece of wood for himself, but that he thought of me, and sent it here.  I will forever treasure this piece of home. No place has ever felt as much like home as the farm ho...
