H A L L O W E E N On My Mind...




So Hobby Lobby had a sale this week...50% OFF ALL ROLLS OF RIBBON!  Yesterday I made Mike drag me to the store and suffer through hours of picking out things I wanted and random additions to my slowly growing box of craft supplies.  We went to Michael's as well, where I found packs of scrapbook paper 40% off...AND...I bought my very own glue gun.  I know, a big step.  But I've come to realize that every girl needs a glue gun.  If you don't have one...go get one NOW.
So with my cheap rolls and rolls and rolls of ribbon, and a $3.00 raffia wreath, I used my HOT little glue gun and started this wreath you see.  One blister later, and several minutes fighting with the ribbon, I managed to attach some ribbon roses and a few foam roses.  I cut bats out of colored foam sheets as well.  And the pumpkin, well it's foam too.  I used one of my BRAND NEW 50% OFF stamps and added a little flair.  If you can't tell I'm more than excited about all these bargains.  Eggs only attacked me twice during the creation, I do say we were successful indeed!

  1. Your wreath turned out beautifully! I think I burn myself at least once every time I use a hot glue gun. You'd think I'd learn by now! Thanks for following my blog--I am happy to be your first follower! I look forward to seeing what you do next.
