girls' room artwork

i finally finished some art work for my girls' room. it has changed design and colors a few times but i am satisfied with it this time that i feel comfortable to hang it in their room. about time!

i also made this burlap banner. it says 'christmas'. turned out really cute. so cute that i'm gonna make more. we made these for my 'mom craft day'. if you want to learn more then leave me a comment. sorry the pictures are so dark. :(

monogram, um... wreath?

just made this. the letter A for 'Adams'. i used a 9' lighted garland that i found at ross for $9.99. it was a steal! bent the garland a little and secured things with a little wire and viola! got the idea from ballard designs. their wreath cost $25 and it was NOT lighted! i feel pretty cool right now. its like a craft high! if you are trying this out then let me give you a hint... if you want a fairly manageable sized letter wreath then DO NOT buy a very full and ornate garland. it makes for a HUGE letter. 9' is the length you want but forget all that greenery and berries. wait and add that later if you want. my letter (A) was a pretty easy and symmetrical letter to compose, yours might not be and may need a little support with dowel or something. sorry, because the letter will vary, i have no way of telling you exactly 'how' to do it. good luck.

total cost=$9.99 + tax.

enjoy!
