Wreaths! Wreaths! Wreaths!

Matt spent the weekend in New Orleans at a bachelor party - and I spent the weekend crafting!!! Saturday Julie came over and we crafted for HOURS! It was so fun!!! We started with a trip to Michaels that ended up with the two of us taking over an entire aisle, spreading out our treasures and deciding what to make. We started with the idea of a wreath. One wreath turned into 2, which turned into Valentine's party decor! What a great day. Check out our results below!

Supplies all set up with a chick flick playing in the background!

Even Lucky wanted to participate

The base of the Valentine's wreath...spraypainted of course!

$5 for 20 Foam hearts, cut out scrapbook paper and mod podge'd it on!

Add a little bit of ribbon!
Julie found 3-D clay for painting to give it texture. It is our new favorite thing!
more hearts...

Finished products...
P for Pelcak!

 Our next wreath was for Spring!!! They started out as the same idea, but by the end we each had our own tweaks!


We put texture on those pots, painted them, added some moss inside - a little toule and a hand-painted "spring" sign!
