After a month of begging my computer not to give up the ghost I accepted my fate and got a new computer so I can start posting again! And what a busy year of events it’s shaping up to being. I’ve got the regular holidays and Brielle’s birthday but this year I’m throwing 2 bridal showers for some very special women! I’ll be drowning in love and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Speaking of love, I have a quick tutorial for a Valentine’s Day craft! It’s so simple and can be done pretty cheap, especially compared to what I’d buy one for. You’ll need a wooden dowel, a flower pot, floral foam, wood stain, moss, a Styrofoam ball (I used the bigger size so it’d balance the flower pot), and some silk roses or your preferred flower. 

I have two centerpiece ideas today. One is pretty quick and easy and the other is still easy but a bit more time intense. We’re having Thanksgiving dinner start at 5 tomorrow so I could fill the table with pretty candles. That means we need to have appetizers to keep the hanger at bay. We’re doing a relish tray and an antipasti tray. I wanted to antipasti platter to have a big more impact so I made a cornucopia to have it all spilling out of. You’ll need a large cup or water bottle, tin foil and dough. I used pizza crust but I’ve read that any dough besides the biscuit dough will work great.
