Summer Madness!

Is summer as busy for you as it is for me?  Choir camp, tennis lessons, ballet, swimming lessons, playtime at the pool, weddings... It's been ridiculous!  I think that in the next couple of weeks things are going to start to slow down.  That will mean more time for crafting!  I have a lot of projects in the works, but I haven't had any time to craft in way too long.  I haven't forgotten the tutorial for the bracelet and headbands with ribbon flowers; It's coming!  I also have a really amazing giveaway coming up, as well.  So thank you for your patience and I hope that you're enjoying your summer as much as I am!

Wedding Gift

I went to a beautiful wedding yesterday for a friend whom I've known since fifth grade.  The wedding was gorgeous, original, sweet and fun.  I wanted to create a gift that would capture the feeling that they had yesterday, and remind them of it each time they glanced at my gift.  This is what I came up with:

I hope they love it!

Fourth of July Table Runner ($4)

I picked up the supplies for this table runner during my recent trip to the Dollar Tree.  I used three place mats and one dish towel.  I cut the dish towel into strips that I then used to connect the place mats.  This is an incredibly simple project (and only costs $4!)!

We used this table runner at our BBQ tonight, as well.  It held up great and added some festive, Patriotic cheer to our table.  Not bad for four dollars!
