[easy to make wreath]

My hands were itching to make something. I just cut up some leaves from black, gray and metallic silver/gray card stock, made a fold in the middle of each leaf and then taped and stapled them to a cardboard circle. Super easy!

I first made it with Marimekko’s Unikko pattern but later decided to change it to plain paper.

[what on earth is going on?!]

Have you been waiting for the October 2013 Project Life printables? Here they are. Except… Something weird is going on with Blogger. When I try to post photos, it gives the photos a blue tint. I don’t have a clue what’s going on. I’ve sent feedback but haven’t heard anything back yet. Do any of you happen to know what’s going on? I haven’t changed any settings, have checked my settings, my photos look fine everywhere else…

Weird thing too is that the dark gray one of these looks normal. Go figure. Very frustrating!

[addicted!]

I'm so addicted to TED talks. So many interesting speakers and you learn so much. I highly recommend that you check it out if you haven't already.

[new Etsy shop item]

My macro flower photograph is available at my Etsy shop now.

Sizes 8” x 10” and 11” x 14”.

This photograph looks gorgeous when framed with white matting. Try printing it on metallic photo paper at a professional photo printing place. Makes a beautiful gift! Sorry to toot my own horn but what can I say, I love this photograph.
