Look what I did today!


How fun is this for Fourth of July!?!?!  (Yes...it would have been great for Memorial Day weekend but didn't get it ready for that!!!) 

This is a straw wreath (with the packaging still on it) about 300 balloons in navy, white, light blue and red and about 300 floral pins (they hurt sometimes when you poke your finger).  I just pushed and pulled these babies and made this beautiful and very patriotic wreath!!!  The ribbon on the top is also adjustable for where you would want to hang it, this really was one of those "mindless" crafts once I got started so it was prefect to create during a couple episodes of "The Real Housewives" I had DVRd.

Of course if you have no mindless tv to watch and you still want one to grace your door, you can always go pick one up over at Goodies By Greiner!!!  I can also make them for parties, baby showers, tailgating...pretty much whatever color combo you want!!!  My Always Just a Mom readers can also use a coupon code for 10% off just type in ALWAYSAMOM for some extra savings!!!

Happy Shopping and WOO HOO it's almost Friday!

That's so cute...great job!

I meant to make one of these for my daughter's birthday party last year and never got around to it. I guess I should probably get started now if I want one for this year!
