That’s a wrap on the wreath.

Finally finished my first yarm wreath over the weekend and promptly gave it to my Mom – I thought it would be a nice fall gift! It was funny giving her my art project. I felt like I was back in elementary school!

I didn’t like the look of the large wreath alone. It was too skinny looking so I bought the smaller one and put them together with some floral pins. I like how it looks more bulked up and there’s way more room for flowers and other bits of decoration. On to the next one!

Spook-tacular!

Getting into the Halloween spirit this week with my first attempt at the Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips. Been wanting to try these out for a while now and I came across these babies (on sale for $5.99!) and I had to try them. A bit nerve racking at first, but I got the hang of it after a few and they turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself! I’ve had them on for a few days now and have had tons of compliments! They’ve held up well too – I’ve washed dishes with them and have hit up the gym too. Will definately be trying these again!

She’s crafty

Hello, my name is Leslie and I’m a newly created craft-a-holic. Michael’s, JoAnne’s….beware. I’m coming for you and all of your lovely craft supplies. I’ve always loved a good craft here and there, but lately it’s become an obsession. Ummm, do you see my dining room table/craft table below? It’s out of control.

Kept coming across these yard wreaths on Pinterest and they really appealed to me so I goggled them, found a tutorial and got to work. I actually had all of the supplies on hand minus the felt for the flowers (hence the deadily trip to JoAnne’s at 8pm last night). It actually came together pretty easily – maybe 30 minutes to wrap the wreath then another 30 dinking around with the felt flowers. Now that I know I can do it, it’s on to other themed ones – I’m thinking a halloween one, perhaps a Valentine’s Day one….the list goes on and on!

I’ve also got a drift wood hanging thingy in the works for outside (gotta come up with a better name for that….) as well as some other spooky things. I’ll share them with you soon!
