summer time

summer is definitely steaming it's way into texas!  thankfully we're still in the high 80's low 90's, but I'm sure that's all going to change very quickly.  i mentioned i tried to summer-up our mantel and i also made this little ditty for our entryway:

I recently found this tutorial from a link party and it made the flowers really easy to make.  to be honest after i followed the tutorials i felt a little silly for not figuring it all out before, they're really easy!  i should probably warn you that with all the snippets of time i get to do something crafty, this wreath took about a month for me to make, the day i finished brody came over and said: "Oh, wow mom!  That looks so pretty, I'm really proud of you!" That definitely made the month worth it!
