Mickey Mouse 3rd Birthday!!

My niece turns 3 in a couple of weeks. She lives out of state and we will not be able to attend her party. But it is a Mickey/Minnie Mouse party. Instead of purchase a Disney cricut cartridge I was able to make some mouse heads with 3 simple circles ;-). I just did a couple banners and cup cake toppers. Here are a couple pictures of the banners.

Happy Birthday Ella!!

Fall has arrived, wreath time!

Its officially fall in western New York and it's absolutely gorgeous outside!! That is, in the morning because by the time I get home from work it's pitch black outside!! But my drive into work is so pretty. 

We already did some canning, beef stew and a ton of casseroles now I just need to figure out how to make some good soup!

But in the meantime I made a bubble burlap wreath. Seriously the easiest thing to make which may be why I had such a hard time starting it!! But I purchased some chevron burlap ribbon from hobby lobby, which was sold out and took forever to restock and now it's out of stock again!! Ugh! But all you do is take a metal wreath frame and bunch the burlap from the back of the frame all around the frame until it looks like this,
I used two rolls of the burlap which was a total of 10 yards.

Then I added some clip on flowers from Michaels, these will change as the seasons and holidays change :-)

I absolutely love it!! I have it on my basement door which is in the kitchen!! Such a cute addition!!

I have two more wreaths I plan to make but they are with a styrofoam wreath frame. More complicated but well worth it in the end!! If only etsy shops had tutorials on how to make them yourself!! I would pay money for that!! 

Happy Fall!!
