Feelin' Feverish

YAY!! I got the gift of a brand new day here

on good ol' planet earth!! If you're reading this that

means you did, too!! Thank you Lord!!

~~~

And today I just have to say that I have the

fever ya'll!! YEP, I'm a little woozy, and just can't

think quite straight, you know???

~~~

No, no.... Don't you worry...no flu here!!

I've got the FALL Fever!!!

~~~

When you come down with the fever, you

just have to start doing somethin'....light a

cinnamon or spice scented candle, put out

a fall leaf candy dish...c'mon...I know you get

the fever too!!!

~~~

So, when I came home the other day, feeling

a bit feverish and woozy from the "fall of it all"

I of course noticed that some of the stems in

my summer flower pockets were

really faded, and had lost their ZING!!

So I just had to do something!!!

~~~

OH YES!!! THAT'S IT!!

I will transform these pretty little

pockets into their FALL splendor!!

So, since we're trying to save $$ and pay off
some bills, I shopped at home!

~~~

NEVER pay full price for silk flowers!! These

lovelies were purchased at a minimum of

40 % off and some at 70 % off!

~~~

You can sign up to get flyers from Michael's and

JoAnn and they include coupons, plus they'll

email them to you. Also, you can usually go

to their websites and print some out as well!!

Let's see what I found!!

Ooooo Ahhhhh! Just look at these pretties!!

Oh and these, too!! They're anxious to
find their new home and smile and greet
all who enter!

If you haven't ever designed your own floral
arrangements, I really encourage you to! It's
quite satisfying! If you are doubting your ability
to pull it off (like I used to) get a book on it, or
do what I did and just start looking closely at
premade arrangements everywhere you go.
I have learned more this way.

~~~

I even went to this place called Floral Supply
Mart and just watched the floral designer do
her magic! That's how I learned to make stems
any length I desire like this:
These little wooden and wire picks come in
different lengths and can be found at WalMart,
Michael's, JoAnn etc. After I wrap the wire around,
I wrap some floral tape around it to
make it a bit more secure.

~~~

Then I add them and just "play" with it them
until they look just so!

~~~

Next I give it a test run in it's new home.
Hmmm...what do you think?



I think I need to shorten the stems of the

yellow thingys a bit, add some small splashes of red,
a couple more little yellow thingys,
and a bow of some sort!!

~~~

Well, ya know what that means?? I checked
my ribbon stash and didn't find what I need to
make these babies sing, so I am off and
armed with coupons to see what I can find!

~~~

I'll post the completed transformation tomorrow!!

~~~

Until then, ya'll be good, and spread some of
your sunshine around, ok?


Love and hugs,
Becky
