Tuesday Tutorial - Flip Flop Wreaths

It's finally warm enough here in Ohio to wear flip flops again. I'm so glad, I've been waiting for these days since last October. To celebrate the occasion, I found a few tutorials for some flip flop wreaths. - What a great way to celebrate the warm months ahead.


This one is from www.southernscraps.blogspot.com.

I love all the colorful flip-flops used in this wreath. You can find instructions here... www.usasillyyaks.blogspot.com

The last one is really cute too. You can find out how it's made at www.cutoutandkeep.net

Thanks for joining us again!

Organizing ---- Craft Room Feature, Mrs. Kwitty's Cottage

I have another craft room tour for you today.   This work space belongs to Karen of Mrs. Kwitty's Cottage.

"Hi,

I do a bit of different crafts: sewing, embroidery, stuffies, stamping, etc. but since having been diagnosed with cancer a couple years ago, mostly I've been doing a lot of paper crafting. Things that I can sit and do, and stop and start easily without too much prep time...you know, creating beautiful things is therapy. Soothes the soul and just makes you feel good.

I like to make tags, a little mixed media collage (especially if I can find a cool old frame or letter rack or box or something to do it in/on) and bookmarks. I love to read and bookmarks are fun to make and give and USE! I also love to make beautiful things for people and then really "do up" the package when I wrap it. A unique wrap with a cool tag makes me happy :o)

The things I do have a sweet cottage/shabby feel. Drawn to soft / retro colors and prints with vintage appeal.

Please stop by the Cottage and have a peek, I'll be happy to see you.

Smiles, Karen
