So since I never received my tussie mussie from my swap partner, I decided to treat myself to a tussie. This was an old one that I took apart and "redid". It had wintery Christmas flowers in it with ivory ribbon. I took that all off and added the lace and pink ribbon, then removed the Christmas-y florals and added the pink roses. I think it will hang on the knob of the door on my desk, 'cause it looks pretty good there, and it will give me a little smile when I sit here at my computer and blog.
Wow, three posts in one day. I think that's a record for me. But sometimes Christy over at BonBonBoutique, puts up several things in one day. She shops and finds great things and then posts them on her blog to share with all of us. Way to go, Christy!

This is one that I had gotten at an estate sale a little while back. Actually it was free, and I didn't like the stuff that was in it, but I figured I would eventually redo it. The cone is made of cardboard, then it's covered with a satiny fabric. It's been sprayed or something with what appears to be "dewdrops", probably bits of some kind of clear glue - not really sure, but since it winterish flowers in it I suppose it's supposed to resemble ice crystals. Anyhow, I just ripped out the flowers and the ribbon that was on it, and glued on the lace and pink ribbon, added the pink flowers to the white ones that weren't wintery and there you have it. Not bad for an old fat hag woman, huh!
I keep hoping michaels will come out with paper mache ones that you can just decorate.
Have you heard from your partner? My cupcake package to my partner took a long time to get there.
If you don't get one I'll fix one up for ya and shame that girl.
