Florist for a day :)

I find myself getting so excited about Christmas that I don't do much for Thanksgiving! I just remembered that I have a super cute turkey that I made and painted somewhere in a box...I should go find it and set him out! I had a reader ask about using fruit in Thanksgiving decor, and I mentioned using cranberries as a filler in a vase--so I went out and did it!

I went to the floral shop in town and picked up some flowers with fall colors, then I headed over to the dollar store and got this nifty little vase. I love how it's short and squat! I also bought some fresh cranberries (they were only $1.99!) and I filled the vase with them--and water, too! Gotta give the flowers something to drink. :) I heard somewhere that you can use a crushed aspirin as flower food...but I didn't have any aspirin, so, let's hope the water will do the trick!

When you cut the stems, do it at an angle, and either cut them in water or put them in water right away so the stems don't suck up air. I'm no florist, so I just arranged them in the vase until they looked good. The cranberries were kind of convenient because they held the flowers in place!

I'm so happy with how my little Thanksgiving arrangement turned out! I think I'll do this every year!

Super Easy No Glue Fridge Magnets

These magnets are so super easy to make...and they look so cute on the fridge. I would be careful, though, if you have little ones at home...you wouldn't want them to get ahold of these. All you need is a brad, a flower, and a magnet. Are all brads magnetic? For this project they need to be! When I made these, I thought they were so great, because later on down the road if you want to use the brads or flowers for another project, they are so easy to take apart and recycle!

Easy as.....

Spring Has Sprung!

I just got this done tonight at about 11:30! My husband came to the rescue and watched the baby so I could get it done....I was waiting all day to finish it! It feels so good to have another project completed---and this one turned out even cuter than I had imagined! If you love it, check it out on my Crafts For Sale page! I cut out the flowers by hand from patterned paper, and then I used my digital craft cutter to cut out the leaves and the vinyl lettering. Then I Mod Podged it all to the wood blocks. It really brightens up the room! If anyone has a spring type craft on your blog that you'd like to show off, leave me a comment with your blog address because I'd love to see it!

So the next thing on my list is to finish the tea dyed purse I started.....
