Quick and Fun

I follow another blog titled " A Beautiful Mess" here on blogger.com.  A recent post found here: http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/10/tricks-treats-autumn-fabric-wreath-by-elise-blaha.html. Elsie and Elise had this wonderful DIY project for a wreath.  I didn't have many fall colored ribbons so I went in search of some to create a perfect thank you gift for my mom.  She's been my rock lately and I thought she would enjoy this gift.  Above is a picture of my completed project.  This was so easy to do and I had fun making it. I can't wait to surprise my mom with it by hanging it on her door while she is at work tomorrow.



 To the right is a snapshot of the bottom portion of the wreath and below is a quick pic of the top of it.  I couldn't help but take a picture of the ribbons I used to make her present.  I used bright oranges, maroons, deep chocolate browns, shiny ambers and various prints mixed about with solids and sheers.

You Will Choose the Queen of Hearts

Here's my skull piece for 4x4 Friday's Skully challenge.  I had fun making this one.  I'm tired and should go to sleep but I want to keep playing with all my paper, glue, stamps, ribbons, etc. Although I think sleep is going to win out in the end.  Thanks to 4x4 Friday for giving a fun theme with Halloween around the corner.
