394 pages

A little "spare" crafting time, 1,000 hot glue gun burns and 394 book pages later and you too can have a wreath like this!

Stephanie at Under the Table and Dreaming posted her wreath (and tutorial too!) and I knew it was a project I wanted to tackle. Especially in the same color. Love the black and white pages. I knew it would be perfect "textural" addition to my winter living room. Mine took long enough to complete and isn't even nearly the size that Stephanie's is -wow! Mine is much smaller. And honestly....that's all I had the patience for - HA! 

The night after I finished it, before I had gotten it hung up my little 2 year old found it, threw it and it ended up like this.....

grrrrr! (insert very unhappy Mommy moment) Luckily a little more hot glue and all is well again. 

These would be very pretty done up in other colors too - Like all Red, all white, Oh even all yellow for Spring! 

So - did you craft up anything fun this weekend?

-----------------
tomorrow: A giveaway! don't miss out
also - I am cooking up a new project and looking for volunteers to take and share some photos for it. If you are interested in the details, please email me! xoxo

To know her is to love her.

This past Wednesday was my mom's birthday. She turned somewhere between 55 and divine perfection. I drove the 4 hours home to Maryland to surprise her and we had a nice, quiet few days. There was a fancy dinner, some sofa snuggling, ice cream and an incident with her birthday candle being blown out in an untimely manner. She got a do-over.

Mama Merrick is really the heart of our family. She smiles at strangers and pats puppies. She's honest, reflective and aware. She's compassion personified. She hugs with reckless abandon. I dug up this old photo of her riding bareback with my sister and I think it really says it all.
