edited to add: Dawn asked if I made this bow with a bow-tying thing and I say what-ever! I make my bows with ribbon and my hands - that's it. That's part of why it takes me so long to wrap because the gifts for my household and friends locally get these kinds of bows. I don't do these for the gifts that get mailed because they'll just get smooshed anyway. But it's allll ME, sister!

Whew - my butt is whooped! So check this - I went out to NAMPA...which is about a half hour drive from here...out in the sticks....because I had a gift card to this really neat market out there - Market Limone. Another one of those deals from our online auction - I bought a $100 gift card for $50 - gotta love it. So the website says they open at 8am on FR. I get out there and there is a sign on the door: New Fall Hours - 10am FR. WHAT!!! I am out in NAMPA at 8am with nothing to do. So I kill time at their ghetto mall - God that mall sucks - Karcher Mall, don't ever go there; it smells like old people and feels like a cold, stale vacant bathroom at a gas station. I started itching so I went to Michael's. Good ol' reliable Michael's. And then back to Market Limone. Came back to Boise and then picked up my mother and met Rob for lunch. Then I went to Craft Warehouse while she was at Wal*Mart....then I went to my Michael's here in Boise...then to JC Penney. Then home where I made my mom this wreath that I'll give to her tomorrow when we go over for dinner - she's making posole (Mexican soup with pork and hominy - mmmmm).

That wreath is really pretty! I bet she'll love it!
What a pain to have to wait around, killing time. :S At least you had a good rest of the day though.
Hope you're feeling much better!
Gorgeous wreath!!! How's you do those bows like that? With that bow tieing thingy? Love them! I bet your Mom will love this too!
Sorry you spent so much time cruising around yesterday...hope you managed to get some great deals?! I know how DISTRESSED you were...lmao...love those phone calls!
The wreath turned out beautiful...I love your bow and I am so jealous....I can't tie shit...ask Dawn I make her tie all my bows on the cards that I make lol.
What a pretty wreath! Thanks for the comment on my blog. The red glitter paper is actually in the Pink pack, so looks like you'll have some of your very own! :)
So jealous of the bow talent. I didn't get that gene, and it sucks because even my lame-ass brother did.
