Spring Door Wreaths are Up!

    Do any of you still have your Christmas wreath on your door?  I got that down in January but hadn't replaced it with anything until yesterday.  I am so excited about the result I had to show it off!  My new house (new to us) has double   doors so I have had to start over on door decorations since we moved in.  I found supplies at Paul Michael's and tucked and wired flowers and ribbon onto 2 loop style twig wreaths to get the result you see here!  It makes me happy!  I love pink and green and the giant checks on this ribbon scream Spring!!!  I haven't had any flower arranging training (as you can see) but I tuck and twist until it looks good to me.  If you use good materials, I think you can make most anything look good!  After 4 months of nothing, my doors are very happy!  What's on your front door?  Hope you'll share a picture or comment!    
     I haven't forgotten about posting the gift tag box and designs, just having a little download trouble.  Will get to it soon!  Also will share pics from tomorrow night's Craft Dinner so stay tuned.

Spring Musings

Ahhh!  Spring in The Delta!  A gentle rain is falling, the birds are singing, and the world outside my window is the perfect shade of lime green!  Life is sweet!  Can't wait to get started on today's projects.  Want to make a collection of gift cards for my daughter-in-law for Mother's Day.  She is a knitter and I've been planning to use Stampin' Up's "Hand Knit" stamp set to make cards she can put with the items she knits as gifts for her friends and family.  Will post as soon as I'm done.  Also saw a gorgeous window box at Paper Crown in OKC several years ago made from a cigar box.  Jess told me what her favorite Jamie picture was so I want to surprise her with the project.    Spring pics and project results to come!
