I miss all my old magazines - Country Home, Cottage Living, Hallmark, and my favorite, Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion. They were wonderful sources of inspiration. I am just grateful that I still have Country Living and Romantic Homes. I also enjoy Martha's Living and Better Homes and Gardens, but they don't inspire me like my old loves.
So where can I go for inspiration now? Why to my favorite blogs of course. This is a little something inspired by Cherry's Jubilee.
Which led to this.....
And then this.....
A little of that....
Some of this...
Which culminated in this....
the birthday gifts for the More Creative Friend and the Singing Nun. In addition to the bake-a-thon, we also celebrate our late summer and early fall birthdays. The girls each got a Wicked banner (they adore the musical and they keep promising to take me - HINT! HINT!), a framed 31 (for October 31, also inspired by a lovely blog that I can't remember the name of), and an apothecary jar filled with creepies and crawlies. I hope they enjoy them as much as I had fun making them. The cottage was really buzzin' that day!
Oh yes! And special thanks to my Cricut machine! I couldn't have done it without you!
Thanks again for stopping by! Hope to see you soon!
