I really do love that cow appreciation day...

Is there any question as to the source of my creative genius? 


I should say not...

Got called out

Yeah so, Allison saw my last post with no mention of her (or her cute little tie wreath that inspired me) and totally called me out on it.  So now I'm mentioning Allison and her cute little tie wreath that inspired me.  Turns out she made her ties - although they totally look like ties you might get for your little boy.  She really is quite the crafty chica.

Christmas in July

I went to a delightful Christmas in July party.  A gal in our ward planned it and invited all the women from the ward.  There were probably 25 or more women there!  All ages too (seriously like 20 - 85). 

Anywho, she had a white elephant gift-esque wreath exchange.  I wasn't going to participate until 3:00 that day when I felt inspired to make this:



That's right, it's a wreath made out of neck ties.  Cute, huh?  I went to Michaels and bought a flower foam wreath then went to Thrift Town and bought 9 ties.  Most of them were 99 cents.  (Next time, I may just go buy some from the 99 Cent Store.)

So I made it and put it in a box and off I went.  There were 15 ladies that brought wreaths and I drew number 14.  I think mine got unwrapped seventh or so and of course everyone knew that I made it.  So it's my turn, I look at all the ones people made or bought and . . . I picked my own.

Cow Appreciation Day

Happy Day-after Cow Appreciation Day!!  What is Cow Appreciation Day, you ask?!?!  It's the opportunity to dress like a cow and get free food at Chick-fil-a.  And as everyone knows, I can't do anything half-heartedly.











Okay so if you think I'm cute, go vote for me here!!  Chick-fil-a's having a contest & the grand prize winner gets 50 free meals at Chick-fil-a.  Wouldn't that be a cool bonus for loving to dress up!
