Busy Weekend


Today Jason and I did this in my yard!  We took out the old edging (black plastic ugly) and dug the trench and used my belgian block from the wall in the back that we replaced last summer!  It's really really pretty and will be better when I get new plants!  I have a few more areas in the yard to do, it's going to look so great when it's done!  It was hard work!

I finally gave up and tossed all the dirt back in and decided only small annual flowers with shallow roots will ever be planted there!

I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
