Date night

Do you remember Whose Line? Do you remember the bit "Props" where they each were given some random prop and they had to come up with as many ideas for use as they could? Well, that's pretty much what we did last night. On a whim. With this:

Yup, a travel pillow. And we had a grand old time, and it didn't take up much time at all. (Some of our answers included a toilet seat, giant phone, nose ring, every facial/body hair you can imagine, an elephant trunk, a giant's bangle, football shoulder pads, Geordi's viser, bunny ears, the front half of a puppy, etc...)

This is a quick, fun game to play with kids, too--and it encourages creativity! Grab a weirdly-shaped-something in your own house and play, with your spouse or whole family. And enjoy the giggles, because there will be plenty! :)

 

What could I be up to? :)

Crafting and creating is so messy...but so fun. :)

Some Thanksgiving Inspiration

I'm thankful for SO many things this year.  Among the long list are beautiful flowers and the talent that I've been given to create beautiful things with them.  Need a little inspiration for that bouquet of beautiful fall flowers you found on sale that you just don't know what to do with?  Check out some of what I did this week:

LOVE the versatility of these fun flower pots...you could make small ones for placecard holders, medium-sized ones like above for thank-you gifts for your Thanksgiving hosts, or a large one as a stunning centerpiece.

Floral cornucopias.  SERIOUSLY.  Tell me that isn't gorgeous!  I went to Hobby Lobby to find a good basket, but all they had were cone-shaped ones, so I had to steam the end of it...and wound up shattering a glass pan in the process.  Still loved how it turned out, showed it off to DH, and we decided to spruce it up with a little orange ribbon around the opening.  And what do you know, the VERY NEXT DAY I was out with a friend and found some actual half-off cornucopia baskets at Michaels.  That's my luck!  Did I still buy the basket?  You bet...at least I'll have some fun supplies for next year!
