Isn't this a great idea?

A beautiful fall wreath.  This is how it was composed.

It started with a simple wreath.

Cleaned and dried falled magnolia leaves

Glue the magnolia leaves directly to the original wreath.

Add a ribbon and it's done.  Isn't this a wonderful fall statement for your home?

 

More wonderful ideas...

I have found some really wonderful ideas from various blogs over the last few weeks and I haven't had time to place them in my blog for 'your viewing pleasure'....hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

I loved this idea.  How easy would it be to take an old frame and create an instant message board or place it on a table with a seasonal message?  This idea was found on the blog: wisefamily1.blogspot.
Take any frame and remove the glass.
2. Paint the glass with chalkboard paint.


3. Love this finished product.  For my home, I think I might place the chalkboard frame by the phone.  I will most likely place a small shelf under the picture frame so it can hold my chalk and eraser.

This is a nice blog.  The owner of the blog has some wonderful ideas that she puts to great use!

Creative Ideas found on various blogs!

I found this creative idea on one of the various blogs I look at and think...I can do that!!!  Unfortunately, I don't have any small girls to make this for and I think they would put me in a home if a woman my age wore this...but I think I could make it for some birthdays or baby shower gifts.  Cute, huh?

These are the steps: 

1.  Pick the flowers you wish to use.

2. Cut a small rectangle of felt

3.  Glue felt to headband

4.  Start to glue the flowers onto the rectangel.

5.  Place the arrangements to cover the entire piece of felt.



7. Voila!!!!!

This idea was placed on the blog: Shanty2Chic!

I have decided to devote my blogs all week to things I found on various blogs.   I love this idea.  This is a bench made from an old headboard.  Isn't it lovely?  I would love to make this myself.  I think I might need to scout out the local Goodwill's or Craigslist.

My Best Friend

I never had no one that I could count on

I've been that down so many times

I was tired of hurtin' so tired of searchin'

Til you walked into my life

It was a feelin' I'd never known

And for the first time I didn't feel alone

Your more than a lover

There could never be another

To make me feel the way you do

Oh, we just get closer

I fall in love all over

Everytime I look at you

I don't know where I'd be

Without you here with me

Life with you makes perfect sense

You're my best friend

You're my best friend

You stand beside me you believe in me

Like nobody ever has

When my world goes crazy

You're right there to save me

You make me see how much I have

And I still tremble when we touch

And, oh, the look in your eyes

When we make love

You're more than a lover

There could never be another

To make me feel the way you do

Oh, we just get closer

I fall in love all over

Everytime I look at you

And I don't know where I'd be

Without you here with me

Life with you makes perfect sense

You're my best friend

You're my best friend....

Grow old along with me

The best is yet to be

When our time has come

We will be as one

God bless our love

God bless our love

Grow old along with me

Two branches of one tree

Face the settng sun

When the day is done

God bless our love

God bless our love

Spending our lives together

Man and wife together

World without end

World without end

Grow old along with me

Whatever fate decrees

We will see it through

For our love is true

God bless our love

God bless our love

Isn't this picture romantic?  I think the couple is so enamored of each other that they are totally oblivious to everything around them.  My desire is for all of us to experience this in our lives.  Some of us are lucky enough to have it everyday.  Others are lucky to have had brief moments.  But they are there to remind us that the power of love supercedes everything else.
