Last weekend was my mom and my second annual trip to the tulip festival. We liked it so much last year that we decided to go again this year. The weather was much warmer this time around, which made me happy and the flowers were gorgeous as expected. My mom and I strolled, chatted and took breaks for pictures. When the temperatures got warmer, we treated ourselves to mango smoothies. It was a perfect afternoon. I love that I have the mom that I do. My mom is also my friend. I inherited her green eyes, big smile and sense of humor. I always beam with pride when someone tells me I look so much like her. Thanks for your example mom, I love you!
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester. This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready. My first creations were these little paper/foam trees. I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it. They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note: You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project. Don't! I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all. Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture. You just punch circles out from the scrap paper. Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in
You do look just like your cute mom! Gorgeous pictures and flowers! Hope you guys had fun.
