Yesterday was my sister’s birthday and I got to spend most of the day with her and my mom and have fun looking at stuff and for stuff for her new old house! It was the most fun ever! My favorite things all rolled into one glorious day. We even had some mocha chocolate cake from Maxie B’s {remember, that bakery I helped redesign}? We even shopped at a REAL lighting store and picked out and purchased 3 much needed, perfect for her home, light fixtures. That was better than Disney World! Such fun! And since I charged my camera battery, packed my camera extra special and failed to even remove it from the car, and since I wouldn’t dare write so many words without balancing it out with a few photos, here is not a photo of my beloved sister but, a photo of the beloved finished product of Maxie B’s. Enjoy.
Also, yesterday and Monday y’all had some fantastic ideas about that garland! You girls do not waste a minute! Within hours of my post you were sending me emails and links and I am so in love with all of you! If you didn’t read the comments from the garland post, it’s worth the read because there are some great ideas! And, as usual, Tracey and Traci both keep me laughing!
Here’s some of your ideas and some of mine for what we can do with that garland:
*put it on the end of a pillowcase
*put it on the edges of a decorative pillow
*use it as a centerpiece at a child’s birthday party
*drape it around your chandelier
*start now, make a loooooong one, get a finger transplant and hang it {the garland not your fingers} on the tree at Christmas
*Tie that ribbon and fabric all over your flip flops
*wrap it around your diaper bag
*add it to your window mistreatment for one huge act of window abuse!
*and there were other’s listed but, I’m too lazy to go read it again!
Also, I have tons of ribbon and fabric lying, laying around. I listed a starter kit on my etsy shop for the garland and it sold so by this afternoon I will list a few more coordinating kits if any of you want a jump start on this project. It is nice not to have to go to lots of different shops to get cute fabric that will look great together. And ribbon, I think I have an illegal amount. Talk to you later, and keep those ideas coming! Oh, and if you missed that post over at Blissfully D about what else you can do with ribbon, check it out!
