Crepe and Watercolor Flower Tutorial - Craftberry Bush

I hope you had a great weekend! Every once in a while during the cold days of winter, the sun peeks through the clouds and ever so gently glides over every surface, magnifying the beauty of winter. Though winter is beautiful, I still long for the sights of Spring and Summer and the gorgeous flowers that dress our gardens.

As promised, I am sharing how I made these crepe flowers…

1 month, 15 projects, 100s of family hours, $0 = Priceless

I have not spent a dime on crafts, clothing and home decorating. I am shocked and can't believe it myself! To start I want by thanking everyone for their words of encouragement over the past month; we have read and enjoyed every comment and email. Just a quick reminder tomorrow is the $0 Budget link party and everyone is invited to stop by to share their ideas. When my husband and I gave up spending for the month of March, I never thought I would accomplish what I did. I will admit it got tough towards the end. Not only did I accomplish so many fun and amazing projects this month, I also got so much done around the house. I cleaned, defrosted and used up so much in my freezer. . #1. . # 2. .
