IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING FLOWERS

I am in the process of making some flowers with vintage trims, what fun this is!!

I have been following a lady (jennings644) on YouTube, you can find her here.

Jennings644 is really fun to follow, she does all sorts of different things, great tutorials indeed.

So, I gathered a bunch of trims, thread, and proceeded to follow her video, here are some samples I what I did.

I will put these together and share my end results soon.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

OUTDOOR FUN

Things are starting to look pretty good around here.

I have been working on things for the outdoors.

Each year I purchase the small plants, the $3 ones at my local grocery store so I can replant them in fun planters I have around the house.  

My Figgy gave me this cloche a few years ago.  This is on the table on the outer deck area.

I purchased this spider plant at a yard sale last weekend for $5, yup five dollars.

This year I filled this wooden basket with moss and added this bird. 

This basket is on the rail on the outer deck, the solar light lights the way onto the porch in the dark.

I have decided to move my trees outside on the deck, these have lights that come on at dark.

A bird cage in the garden.

An area around the garage.

I am still working on the garden areas, a work in progress.

Thanks for stopping by.

WHITE WEDDING BUNDLE

Here is my "White Wedding" June bundle for a swap over at Blissful Art Group.

My tag.

A small bit of goodies.

My card.

Fussy cutting of a vintage greeting card and some antique trims.

I also added a little bit of gold glitter here and there.

I have been wanting to make a brown paper bag pouch for sometime now.

I saw this idea on Pinterest.

I did tweak it to my liking and I really love the way these turned out.  

You can use the pocket in the very top, the pocket in the center and the pocket near the bottom.

These brown paper bags are the larger size 9 3/4" x 5".  The pouch ends up being 6" x 5".

I love the presentation.

Go ahead and experiment with making some paper bag pouches for yourself.

Thanks for stopping by.

TRUE BLUE SWEETHEARTS

These ATC'S are for a swap at Art Joy Stuff

True Blue Sweetheart is the theme for this one.

This ATC is for our hostess, Kimberly.

I do enjoy creating a little something for the hostess, as a thank you for all of her work. 

Kimberly's is the the same, but just a tad bit different.

Here is everything all packaged up.

I have been wanting to make pouches out of brown paper bags for sometime now.  I saw this idea on Pinterest.

I put my own spin on the pouch and love the way it offers such a nice presentation for what I am sending along to a swap partner.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
