Getting Crafty With My Friends

My friend Sarah is a pro at "all things crafty." Seriously, she's amazing and every time I am at her house, I want to channel some of her craftiness! Sarah had an awesome idea to put together a wreath craft night for us girls so that we could get together, have fun, eat (alot), and make some fabulous decorations!


Looks like hot glue heaven, and this was before anyone else arrived to add their glue guns and supplies to the mix.

Lots of hard-working, crafty ladies =)


Here's my finished product - a wreath made of split peas! It took an awful lot of glue to get those little guys stuck on there!


My inspiration for the colors came from my door mat - I really wanted a wreath that I could display all year instead of just fall.


Looks pretty cute hanging on our red door, in my opinion. And I must say that I am a wee bit proud =)


And just look at what my friends made!

Tara's gorgeous fall wreath.


Shelly & MaryAnn's burlap wreaths.


Kristy's cute rosette wreath - she made all of those rosettes herself!


Mary-Hayden and her adorable Halloween wreath.


Rebekah, Emily, and Sarah with their finished wreaths made of coffee filters.


Most of us girls are obsessed with the website, Pinterest, and I think we all brought a Pinterest-inspired recipe to share.


Here's mine - Pumpkin Pie Dip...soooo yummy!


And I also made these Salsa Roll-Ups. My trusty taste-testing husband loved them so much I had to make extras for him =)


It was a fun night and one that I think will be repeated in the future. I sure am thankful to be surrounded by such amazing girls - such a HUGE blessing in my life! Thanks, Sarah, for being such a wonderful hostess and a fantastic friend!
