Fall Walk

I know it isn't officially fall yet, but it sure does feel like it. Back to school, the leaves are falling, and the nights are cooler. I thought it was the perfect time for a fall craft. The girls and I went on a walk in the wild, wild forest today, and found lots of beautiful leaves. First we did some leaf imprints with crayons which always reminds me of when I was little . Then my daughter said she wanted to make a tree. So I drew the tree, and she glued all of the leaves on. Then, like the girl she is, asked for the glitter. She had a lot of fun.

DIY Easter Wreath

Spring is in the air!!!!

Last week, I started looking around for Easter wreaths for my front door. Pottery Barn has a nice one,  but I don't want to spend $250.  Etsy also has some for about  $45 US plus shipping.  The only problem is that I have double doors at the front, which means double the cost! Needless to say,  I decided to make my own.

• The grapevine wreath base was $3.99 with 40% off at Michael's  Total cost approx = $5
• Egg stems from the dollar store were $1.25 each and I used 6 per wreath = $17
• Beaded stems were $1 each, and I used 3 per wreath = $7
• I also added some metal butterflies and flowers from the dollar store for about $2

Voila. A beautiful wreath for Easter and for only $15!
