Spring time...I'm ready already!

As I sat in front of my work room window on Saturday; there was a beautiful thin blanket of snow on the ground and I was really needing some sunshine.  I had just received a new shipment of spring wreath supplies in and I couldn't hardly wait to get started.  YES, I HAVE SPRING FEVER!!! So, I managed to put the mesh together on 4 spring colored wreaths.  I love the spring time when the birds are nesting and the frogs are croaking......and you smell the grills in the neighborhood lighting for the first burger of the summer!  Yep,  I am ready for spring already!

Popular Demand

I have been asked many, many times, if I do any wreaths for birth announcements...."It's a boy" or "It's a girl."  I wanted to do something that could not only be used outside for the announcement, but could also be used in the nursery. So, I decided to write the child's name on the other side of the sign.  This wreath can be purchased for $30.00.  The girl's wreath will be heartshaped and the boys wreath round.  I can make them in the traditional pink and blue or it may be made to match the babies nursery.

This is a very special time for parents.  It is so exciting to come home with something on the door that tells the world that you are celebrating the birth of a child!

Now...I go cheer on the CATS!!!  GO BIG BLUE!!

Such a rewarding day.

Today I write in PINK to show respect for Breast Cancer Awareness.  Relay For Life is just around the corner and a dear friend of mine in Bowling Green, Ky asked me to do a wreath to raffle.  We put our heads together in about a 3 minute conversation and this is the finished product.  I loved doing this wreath.  As I worked on it, I thought about many people that I know who are survivors of breast cancer and I thought of all the trials that came with this disease.  The initial waiting for the diagnosis and all the tests that you have to endure only to get that "C" word placed in your lap.  I can't even begin to imagine the horror of emotions that you go thru. The words that go along with the theme of the wreath are such "high impact" words...courage....hope....strength.....my next wreath will say "SURVIVOR"!!!

Just an average day in the shop!

Today is starting off to be a very busy day!  I am making wreaths of all varieties today.  4 UK, 1 Ashland Tomcat, 1 Dallas Cowboy and a burlap.  I love getting to be home 2 days to work and create in my little shop.  I had another lady pull in my driveway this week and order wreaths.  Word "travels" fast.  LOL!  I am posting a Tennessee wreath.  Now, all of UK fans need to understand....I BLEED BLUE....but in this business, you have to be very open minded and meet the needs of your customers....and I aim to please.  Have a great day and come by again!

Busy, Busy, Busy Day!

Today I write in BLUE because it is UK wreaths and yard signs allllll daaaay....LOL. However, I am headed to New Beginnings Salon at 10:30 for a much needed haircut and color!!!  Wow, it grows so fast!
Funny story:  So, my husband Greg is out in the yard mulching some leaves and a little lady drives by and says "Is this where the lady lives that makes those beautiful wreaths?"  Greg tells her yes, as she admires the UK wreath on my front door.  Come to find out, she had knocked on the door of a girl that I worked with and the girl gave her my phone number and the AREA, not the address, of where I lived....this lady drove down the streets of the area until she found a door with a wreath like I make on it!  I LOVE IT! 
I got a message on facebook from a neighbor friend that I lived across the street from in Paintsville.  She wanted to know if I could do a Tennessee wreath!  Of course I can!  But can I really?  Is that being a traitor!  Naaaah!  I can enjoy that beautiful orange wreath without losing one ounce of loyalty to the BIG BLUE MACHINE!  Happy Wednesday blogger fans!!!

"GO CATS"

Wow!  I have been a busy lady!  Soooo many UK fans out there!  I made 4 UK wreaths on Friday and delivered them.....more orders coming in every day!  YAY!  It has been over a week since I have blogged.  Every free minute I have had, I have spent so much time playing with my new Cricut....it is much harder than I expected to get everything to look just like I want it to.  I am displaying a few of the items that I have worked on this past week.  These items will be displayed at Stuckys Merle Norman in Morehead, but can be ordered.
I made a few Valentine's Day items for those of you who "Love" the day!  After all, love is what makes the world go round!

Back to the grind!

Well, my vacation is quickly getting away from me and I haven't worked much! Sooooo, today I light the fire again and get some orders filled.  Yes, believe it or not, a few people still have money and have placed some after Christmas orders.

"Everything UK" is headed to Morehead to my mom's shop (Stuckys Merle Norman).  I am going to practice with my Cricut a little more.  I bought the neatest tin trash can that I will be working on today.  I'll take pics of it and post it when it is finished.  Also, I will be personalizing plates, wine glasses and anything else that you might want your initials or monogram on.  I think that if I can get the hang of this machine that I am really going to like it!  It is harder than it looks.....and truthfully, one of my strengths IS NOT patience!  LOL! 

Have a blessed day!
