And this may be it! Magnolia Cone Tree += I have seen the fabric covered cones all over, and had intended to make a magnolia wreath. Well, I didn't want to go out to find a wreath form, I couldn't find my gluesticks, so.. I just taped the goober things to the cone. Stuck the bow on top and called it done. Kinda began looking like something Tinkerbell would wear. Christopher laughed at it. Neil said it was cute. It sits in the foyer. We

recycled paper ornaments: Magazine Ornaments The idea for using magazines stems from my frugal nature and I like to upcycle. I had planned to punch out monochromatic, concentric shapes, like snowflakes and flowers, from magazine pictures and attach the shapes in layered patterns around a sphere with rhinestones affixed in the center of each set of layers. In my head, this is beautiful. However, I really didn’t want to buy any punches if I could avoid it, which would have cost well

I cut up the flowered shirt... and cut out as many hearts as I could. I pinned them onto the solid pink shirt... and went to
