Happy Monday Mornin~

We finished up the prom flowers on sat and everyone picked all up without any troubles.  The kids were all so sweet and happy!  I hope they all had a wonderful time, at least it wasnt raining out, just breezy and a bit cold sun was out!!

So here's a couple of the silk corsages we had to make up and a bout set too.

I love adding little blings to each one.

The above pic didnt turn out too well I will retake them it was to use " earthly " embellishments on a lo so I added some homemade flowers using recycled brown coffee filters and some stash pp.  Same color themes greens and browns. 

I also participated in an online crop this weekend  the theme was Celebrating Earth!!  One of the challenges I did was for colors staying with greens/browns/oranges.  I made up a simply lo using my father in laws childhood pic! LOVE that one dad!!

Using my JUST RITE STAMPS I stamped childhood on cardstock, distressed a bit with TIM HOLTZ distressing ink, and added some vintagey sheet music and I love the words along the green backround pp.  The butterfly was on a sheet, i cut it out, chalked it for some color and it really added something to this quick and simple page.

I also love recycling so the old wood domino was perfect.

Oh here's a pic of my Mr. Boopie Woopie Boo laying bedind me on the couch.  HE is such a mommy's boy and a cutie pie at that !  LOL MOMMY loves him!!

I am off to work a bit in the greenhouse, will share pics with ya, we got the gardens all tilled up and will be ready in a few days to start the planting! yeah! love that part!~ My brothers herbs are doing great in there too, we have planted some dill, rosemary, oregano, sweet basil, lemon thyme, thyme, tarragon, cat grass, sugar snap peas, squash, zucchini, tomatos, green and hot peppers, and some flowers, moon flowers, pansy, hollyhocks, cosmos, moon flower vines, gourds, and of cource spinach and some arugulas. So much more to seed though!!  That is my job today and well hope to work on a few projects in my studio!!

Prom time

Wrist corsages for sale.  This black one has some tiny black silk flowers and sheer black ribbon along with a touch of black glittery tule.  7  1/2in longWhite roses with pink flower accents and sheer pink bow and ribbon.  8 in long.

Since prom is right around the corner I thought I would start making some corsages.  These are all silk ones, my mom brother and I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and bought the prettiest flowers!!  As yall know I love my "farmgirl bling" so added some pretty little pearl strands and some glittery ribbons.  The pink and white one actually was an experiment using the pink little flowers I made from paper, chalked the edges for more dimension and really this turned out kind of cool  Also found some great glittery tule we had at the shop.   We usually have someone come in the shop askin for silk so figured since it will last and stay nice we will offer some.  These are all on silver elastic wristlets.  If anyone would like to order a set of corsage and matching boutinerre please convo with me I can do that and ship asap.  I did put a couple in my etsy shoppe to.  I can also make one up to be a pin on instead.  I cant wait to see everyone's dresses there are so many different kinds.  This may date me a bit but my prom dress and most everyones in high school were full southen belle ones.  My junior prom dress was very light blue with lots of details and my senior dress (my favo) was white of cource floor lenght with a hoop under!! LOL can u imagine!! I loved that dress it was a v neck with pearls and sequins and long sleeve and of cource it was a summer satin, I love summer satin and my wedding dress was it also.  Oh too fun I will have to dig up ol prom pics!! My dresses are still in my closet in my old bedroom at my mom and dads house bet my pics are there too!!  In fact I also have all my senior pics in a box there, I had some pics taken with my collie "Laddie" and my chevy nova my daddy built for me!!  Oh the memories if that car could have talked!! LOL

Hope yall have a blessed Sunday and I will be back to share more with yall soon!!
