After admiring the adorbale Halloween banner that Elizabeth and her friends created, I decided to give one a try as well. Although I am no where near as talented or creative as they are, I really am pleased with how it turned out! You can see it in my header hanging across my fireplace mantle. Here are a few close ups:
(I just noticed part of my E is missing!)
Each year I try and think of something creative to give to the sweet girls in the office where I work. There was a store in a local mall that made candy bouquets that were so cute but extrememly expensive. So I went online (don't you love Google images!!??) and found some examples and then went shopping, and came up with these.
I love the way they turned out! I ended up having about $20 in all four of them! I think one from the candy bouquet store was $30!
Here they sit making my kitchen table look so pretty along with the pretty orchid (that I hope I don't kill) that my neighbor brought me.
It's a hot Sunday here in Virginia, but occasionally you will catch that cool breeze that refreshes and let's us know winter is on the way.
Blessings

Your banner is amazing, and I can tell alot of work went into it! It looks really good on your mantle. I would love to make something like that, but it just looks too intimidating to my limited crafting skills!
You look pretty darn talented to me and I'm kind of wishing I was one of your co-workers! :-)
Oh Linda I am so impressed with your banner!! The next time I have a swap..I will let you know a head of time so you can be in it..I would be proud to have your work next to mine!!
