Wordle

Gotta love finding weird things when reading other people's blogs.

Random thing I learned today: You can go to www.wordle.net and it will create a "beautiful word cloud" that represents your blog.

Here's mine:


Plus, I learned how to do a "screen capture" picture so I now think I am very tech savvy. You know you are impressed.

Happy Friday!!

Fall Wreath

It has been a long few weeks. I lost my great grandmother the same week that we had planned a trip to see my husband's family in New Hampshire. It was nice to be able to see my family and his in such a short time but it has left me exhausted.

Before all of this happened I made a wreath for the first time in months- but I haven't had five seconds to post about it!



I have been obsessed with the burlap trend that you see all over Pinterest. This wreath is a combination of many wreaths that I liked.

All the things you will need I found at Michael's- wreath, ribbon, burlap, decorative flowers, letter, scrap book paper, and glue gun. The roll of burlap is in the floral section- and apparently hard to come by! I must not be the only one who likes the look. I bought the last roll- and almost ran out so I wish I had one more roll to make the wreath look a little more uniform.

The "R" is just a wooden letter with scrap book paper mod-podged onto it. Your glue gun becomes your best friend when making wreaths.

Happy Wednesday!
