the past month and a half!

i can't believe it is october!  where has the time gone?!

i know i have been MIA for awhile....super busy at work with the start of the quarter and just getting things worked out.  but that doesn't mean i haven't stopped crafting! :)

here are some things i have done in the past month and a half......

wreaths for my mom and mother in law, kim!

My mom's wreath! 
My mom decided that she likes the wreath as a centerpiece instead of hanging it! i love when my crafts turn into something completly different than what i imagined!

My mother in law's, Kim's, wreath!

Kim put it in her "garden room"...looks great!

Another project that i worked on was creating strawberries out of paper!  there is a picture in the new Stampin' UP! catalog of them and i just had to figure them out!  so, i went online and found out that the strawberry is made from a flower die cut.  Well, i don't have the die cut....so i improvised.  i printed out a picture of the die cut, then blew it up to the size i wanted on a copy machine, cut out the flower and made that into my stencil.  i know it seems like a lot of work for a little strawberry, but i had to do it!  :)  here is one i made, in the early stages.  I will try and get more pics of the "bushel o' berries" i made my mom...super cute!


more to come in subsequent postings!  :)
