Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Invites

A couple of weeks ago one of my friends called me and said she was going to be throwing a birthday party for her little girl and was wondering if I could help her put together some Strawberry Shortcake themed Invited. Do you think I could say no? Of Course not, so last weekend she came over and this is what I came up with. I had a blast making them with my friend and she was completely amazed by the whole process.

A rare photo, me with the finished product:

Spring Wreath

Here is the spring wreath I made for our door at work. I wish the picture showed the how bright and vivid this really is, I absolutely love how it came out. I have enough flowers left over that I think I will make one for my house.


Pinwheel watercans


A couple weeks ago I was in my favorite section of target, the Dollar Spot when I spoted these super cute little pinwheels. I had to get some for the office as I thought they would be a fun way to decorate for spring. As soon as I had picked up one of each I relized I was going to need something to put them in and thats when I spoted the brightly colored wateringcans that just happened to match, so I grabbed one in each color also and then headed on my way. Later I went to Joann's in search of some more supplies to finsh these off so they didn't just look like a pinwheel flopping in a watercan. That's where I came up with the final idea of what these where going to look like and I don't think they could have come out any cutier, and all together I think they cost about $6-7 each to make.


Supplies:
Pin wheel
WaterCan
Stirefoam

Way to go! Card

This card I made special for one of the teenage girls that comes to our office for treatment. She sufferers from really bad anxiety and had basically dropped out of school. She recently went back to get her GED and has been working through the anxiety. Unfortunately she doesn't get a lot of encouragement at home so I wanted her to know we were all proud of her so I made her this card and told her how proud of her we all were and that we wanted her to keep up the hard work.
