Journals....journals....and more journals.

Thanks to my Zutter binder, I've made adorable, little journals!!! One can never have too many! Adorned with buttons and ribbons and whatever else I can get my hands on.

Gumball Wreath

With compliments to the huge gumball tree in my backyard, I had many gumball seeds sprinkled about the ground, waiting to be gathered and created into a wreath!



So I gathered away and spray painted the gumball seeds metallic silver...



...and spray painted a grapevine wreath as well.





Using a hot glue gun, I glued the gumballs to the wreath and began building the structure, stacking gumball on top of gumball.


Almost done....

I gave the wreath one final spray to cover any missed spots.


Ta da! All done!

Vintage Spools

During a recent visit to my grandmother's house, she gave me vintage wooden spools. I was excited to rush home and place them in mason jars to be displayed... then I remembered a wired dress form that I had. With a vintage floral paper inserted in the bottom, this dress form became a new home for my spools.
