Complete Opposites?

My husband and I are complete opposites on the surface, and fight about everything from satellite tv packages, to where we are going for dinner. I know that some people think we are ad odd couple, but our differences are what make our relationship special. I am very liberal and was raised Jewish, and my husband is more conservative and was raised Christian. One might think that we are very different, but at the end of the day, we are actually a lot alike. Even though we fight about the little things, all of our core values are the same. We both believe in generosity and charity to those in need, and accepting others the way they are. The big things are what is important to us. Our families also get along really well, which one might not suspect. We always have a great time when we are all together. My husband and I mostly fight about insignificant things, and it keeps our life very interesting. Our marriage might seem odd to some people, but I couldn’t envision my life any other way. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life arguing about the small things!

DIY Wall-Art ( Cheap $$)

I spent days browsing Pinterest trying to find a wreath that I liked so I could make one. I had already went to Home Depot and picked up some plumbing insulation and made a few wreath forms of my own, and I knew that I had spotted a wreath made with scrapbook paper ( had that in abundance also). I stumbled upon this wreath from Two Girls Being Crafty, and figured that it would be a good start.


Well, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get the papers to flow right for me. So, I headed to my craft scrap box and found a piece of plywood that I had cut for another project and inspiration struck!!


Materials:

4inch X 4inch piece of plywood
1 sheet of 12x12 inch scrapbook paper (double sided) or 2 sheets
hot glue gun

Directions: ( Sorry I don't have detailed pictures, I got a little carried away and forgot to take them:)

Cut scrapbook paper into 1" x 4" strips. Being careful not to crease the paper, make a loop of each strip and secure the ends with hot glue.


Then you will want to glue each loop to the plywood.

I first laid them out and figured out my exact placement and then started gluing from the bottom up. I ended up with 4 across (side touching side) and 6 up. (*I plan to make another one this week and will update with more photos then). Here is a view of the back ( you can see how my loops hang over at the bottom, and of course the finished product. I just need to find a place for it now!!
