I guess that is like saying to make a quilt you just cut small pieces of different fabric, sew them together, fill it with batting, put a back on it, and bind the edges. EASY! haha <br />I have been behind in visiting since I was on this trip.... oh well. Tis the season for working outside, though your weather isn't as hot as ours.

I have directions for a living wreath and have been collecting succulents the last couple of years to make one. I did, however, pick up some wire baskets at a wholesale nursery down the road when she had her yearly garage sale. I did one basket but I think it's a lot harder, especially when just learning. Guess I'll learn though since I bought 5 of them. I'm ready to start the wreath now, just need to find one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg for a bunch of wire! LOL<br />I'm trying to get around visiting a bit today because I'm so behind. Working outside I can't seem to do much more than get a post on every or every other day but I'm working at getting better! ;-)RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-69662869730950937152009-05-23T11:38:21.601-04:002009-05-23T11:38:21.601-04:00Hi Susie- I tell you what, by the time we got to t...Hi Susie- I tell you what, by the time we got to the dorm, I was beat!!
