Garden Party

I will be wearing my red, white and blue on Sunday to celebrate the 4th of July...but Saturday is all about pretty colors.  I'm having a little garden party with some of my friends and I've made a bunch of pretty flower corsages as party favors for them to wear while they're sipping white peach sangria and to take home when they leave!  I've made several colors so I'm hoping everyone finds one they like.  It's fun to surprise your friends with pretty things.  Happy holidays and have a safe weekend eveyone!

Paper Flower Earrings

I have several amazing friends that I just adore.  Some of them are super organized while others are a bit more spontaneous shall we say.  One of my quirky spontaeous girlies called me with a fun last minute challenge.  She called at 3:30pm and said she needed 25 party favors for a bridal shower she was throwing the next day (in her defense her original favors weren't delivered on time).  And her budget was "as little as possible please"!  The bride to be is a journalist and loves roses...

Using paper (inspired by her journalist background), pearls and a tiny bit of felt I created these sweet paper rose earrings in all sorts of summer pastel colors matching the theme of the shower.  I sealed them so they are stiff and waterproof and can be worn again and again.  Apparently they were a huge hit and everyone loved them.  Yay :)
