Flowers for a Family
For those of you who heard the rumors, they are true. Somewhat. Yes, we are expecting a boy. No, I am not pregnant. We are adopting a not-so-little (6-year-old) boy from Taiwan. I plan to tell the story at mamacurls.blogspot.com over the next few months because we are only a month into this process and it has already been an amazing journey. This post is not to tell the story, but to ask for your prayers and love. This little boy needs a home and family and we would love to welcome him into ours. To raise funds to cover the many costs associated with his adoption, my daughters and I are making paper flowers like the one below. We can make these 3" beauties into lapel pins or hair clips and the colors are limitless. If you can bless us by praying, ordering flowers, or sending this along to your friends, we would be so grateful! You can place your order at http://curlsandgrins.weebly.com/cards--announcements.html. Thanks so much!

It's My Birthday Blog Hop Recap
If you'd like one more chance at Rachelle's Birthday Blog Hop Grand Prize, click here! Here is a recap of my projects this weekend (with extra details about the gift boxes):
Day 1 - Retro card
Day 2 - Quilt Card
Day 3 - Gift Boxes
I found these cute gift boxes at the thrift store. It was a package of 12 gift boxes designed to look like wedding dresses for $.89! I used one box and made a template for the dresses. The dresses are cut out of paper I had left over from other projects. The dresses are cut 1/4" shorter than the boxes and ribbon or paper is added under the dress to look like a petticoat. I added ribbon, brads embossing and glitter. and other embellishments to accessorize. The key is to think outside of the box. ;)
