Getting crafty!

Sometimes, instead of getting sassy, I get crafty. I dragged the husband to Micheal's craft store yesterday because I wanted to make a fall wreath to hang on our gate. He sat and played a game on his phone and I shopped for fake flowers to shove into a wreath. I checked the prices of the pre-made wreaths and they were between $30 and $45 dollars, depending on the size. I got the plain wreath for $4.99 and all the fall-colored flowers were 50% off. I ended up spending around $20 and it turned out so much better than the pre-made ones at the store.

It is crazy easy to make. You just pick your flowers and your wreath size. Cut the stems off the flowers using wire cutters. leaving enough stem that you can work and weave into the wood of the wreath and position the flowers wherever you'd like.

Point is...make your own wreath!


Happy "HOWL"oween!!

I've taken a bit of a blogging hiatus (which is not unusual for me!) But I'm back..for now.

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year and while many adults dress their children up in fun and cute costumes, I choose to secure my dogs in slightly-too-small-and-most-definitely-too-hot-for-them-costumes with Velcro and bribe them with treats to pose for pictures! (Don't worry PETA, I had the air conditioner on and they only had to pose for a few minutes.)
