I know, I know. I haven't been around. I've been emotionally unavailable to the blogging world. Sure, I could list excuses, I could tell you how time got away from me.
It would be a lie though.
The truth is that everyday I thought about how a blog post was due, and everyday it became just a little bit harder to make an entry because of how long it had been already. This week, I had a new mistress...
Her name is sleep.
Patrice and I went away this past weekend, and while we had way too much fun, we also got way too little sleep. So I've been napping. Napping is actually putting it mildly, I've been falling into a coma every day a little after lunch.
So now I'm back (although I'm the first to admit that I think I now have a napping problem).
And it is Make a Flower Friday!
So let's get to the flower :)
Ooh, pretty!
And you can make it with your scraps! So get out a scrap of paper and punch a few circles out of it:
Then you'll want to put some strong adhesive on one end of the patterned paper and roll it into an oval like this:
We are going to cut small strips from our oval of patterned paper now. I couldn't take a picture of myself cutting the paper because I only have two hands, but here is what the finished result will look like:
Put some glue on one of the circles (this will be the back of the flower) and arrange the oval strips however you like to form the 'petals'. I used hot glue because I didn't want to hold anything down. Once the petals are arranged how you like, put glue on the second circle and press down onto the middle of your flower and decorate however you'd like!
Have a great weekend everybody! And thanks for looking :)
