Welcome [Summer]

... you don't need to tell me summer is almost over, I know...

But here is a summer wreath I made this week. It was obviously *super easy* to make!

[I got these push pins at a dollar store]

[Felt I had in summery colors]

[I used different size circles to cut out felt.

I used the inside and outside circles of the canning lid]

[I cut leaves out of green felt, I just eyeballed it]

[Layered circles] [Add leaves] [Glued on to wreath with HOT glue gun]

[Added "welcome" paper]

To make the "welcome" sign, I cut out letters using my Cricut, glue them on a piece of scrapbook paper, then spray-painted them with clear glossy paint

Fun and Easy!

[Day One] I'm in a little jam

Today when I was making [Rhubarb] jam with my Oma[grandma] I decided I was going to start a blog about my [changing] life.

I was recently laid off [Yes- I live in Michigan] and I will be nanny-ing this summer as well as preparing for my wedding. So I thought I'd record what I [hope to] get done!

I have a long laundry list of things to do with all my [free] time this summer. I hope to keep track of them here.


I picked hope-always-floats because my [soon to be retired] last name sometimes gets pronounced as hope-floats. I also think the hope and always incorporate my beliefs in the LORD [Jesus Christ} and the fact that my hope [and faith] in God gets me through even the deepest waters.
