Flower pot full of love!

Hey there!  Sorry to have gone MIA!  It has been a very busy couple of days around here.  We have had a house full (all of our kids at home at once!!) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!  Three birthday parties, a family dinner, classes and lots of misc running around! Phew!  It was utter chaos having everyone home at once, but it makes me so happy!  I love the noise and the commotion!  I love seeing my kids and their wonderful (we are very lucky!) significant others all piled around the living room together hanging out and laughing! It is a wonderful thing!  :)

I have a project to share with you today that I almost didn't share!  I was in a hurry when I snapped the pictures and they are way, way over exposed.  Decided to share anyhow because it was just so much fun to create!  One of the birthday parties that we went to required a mutual gift so this is what I put together:

The guests of honor like gardening and plants and flowers and chocolate so I combined them all!  I made severel flowers using misc punches and dies.  I sponged the stems green and added leaves!

Also, tucked in some flower seed packets, a gift certificate for dinner out and a healthy supply of chocolate!  Once the chocolate goodness is gone the pot can be re-used to hold real  flowers!

I made a tag using the retired (sniff, sniff!) stamp set Beautiful People and tied it onto the front! This was really a lot of fun to assemble!  **Please pardon my stinky photos!  Photographer I am  not! LOL

Want to see another cute thing?!  This is our beautiful little grand pumpkin in her froggy hat!  She is such a sweet little person! :)

And another because I am totally  smitten with her!

Hope that you have a wonderful day! I have a Project Life class tomorrow that I am super excited about that I am off to make preparations for!  

I will be back soonest with more to share!
