Initial "H" Wreath

I wanted something new and different on my front door,
but I have been so busy that I just hadn't had time to make anything.
So I decided to reuse something from one of the bridal showers that I
hosted this past spring - and I love it!!


 
 
This "H" was attached to an old window for a display (click here to see it
at the bridal shower). At the shower, it stood for "Hernandez," but since
my last name is "Haynie," I figured I might as well get some use out of it.
I just hot glued ribbon on either side of the H, and had a "custom" initial wreath!

How I made the initial letter to begin with:
Printed the letter onto a transparency sheet
Traced the letter on cardboard
Cut using a boxcutter
Hot glue reindeer moss (from the dollar store) to cardboard

I definitely think it's unique, and cost next to nothing to make!
I'm so glad I didn't throw it away after the shower!!

Cutest Fans Ever!

In honor of the Marshall/West Virginia game today, here is a
picture of my nieces, Tallie and Abby, from last year's
game! They are seriously the cutest fans ever, right?!?
Tallie's parents went to Marshall (like me!) and Abby's parents
are WVU fans. So of course, the girls had to represent!
 
 
 
I ordered the bottlecap bows from a friend of mine - click here
for a link to her blog, just in case you decide to order one!
I made the onesies using iron on transfer paper - each school's
logo with "Mini Marshall Fan" and Mini Mountaineer Fan" underneath.
The back of the onesie's had their first and middle names in
all capital letters like a football uniform =)
The no-sew tutu's were made using tulle and ribbon.
 
I made a Marshall outfit (today actually!) for Tallie for this
year - will post about that when I get a pic of her actually in it!
Hope your day has been great, even if your team didn't win!!

Strawberry~Angel Food Cake~White Chocolate Skewers

Need an easy, yummy snack that will impress everyone??
Well, here you go!
Strawberry~Angel Food Cake~White Chocolate Skewers

 

To make approximately 22 skewers, you will need:
2 regular sized containers of strawberries
1 angel food cake
1 bag of white chocolate chips

Cut the angel food cake and strawberries into pieces, and slide onto skewers.
Melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler, and drizzle over the
skewers. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.

It's such a tasty treat - I made these for my bible study last night, and everyone seemed
to love them! And they look so pretty on a platter =) If you have time, you can tie a ribbon
on the end of the skewer for a little more decoration.
