Christmas Wreaths part 1

Happy Holidays! In the spirit of the season, I have made some Christmas wreaths. I went to my local Michael's and took a free floral class where I learned how to put this wreath together. The instructor was very nice and talented. I had never noticed the "mesh" wreaths that are so popular and I ended up adding that material to mine. It really made it sparkle and shine. Love that mesh! LOL!

I used a Styrofoam wreath, wrapped it with my ribbon, added the red and green mesh, and the flower.

I loved this "R" initial. I painted it green and then added glitter paint to it.


So with my extra I decorated another wreath I had to give it a little love.



Next time, I will be sharing more mesh wreaths I am making for my mom and mother-in-law. So stay tuned!

    Kelly, these are so beautiful. I wish you lived near enough to come help me make one for my door. I love the use of the R in the center and love the poinsettias on the other one. So very pretty.

Soul Sistah Painting

I love trying new things in art. It is like an adventure and a hearty challenge. So after I saw this picture of the soul singer Ledisi, I just had to try it. Love the dark eye shadow and the head tilted. So dramatic! When I first tried adding the blue eye shadow to my painting it looked cool to me. But when I had my hubby look at it he nicely told me the blue I did made her eyes look hollow! LOL! So I went back and added a lighter blue and that did it! So here are some pictures showing the progression of my version of Ledisi. Thanks for stopping by! Have a super day.

My Birthday Blog Party

My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and a cousin. It was so great to have m
