Happy memories wreath DIY tutorial

I always wanted to gather some photos that are dear to me in one place!
My good friend Rux from Copilarim sent  an e-mail asking me  if I can make a DIY tutorial using wood

This is a really nice way to show off you family and friends pictures, beautiful happy memories over the years. You can hang it somewhere in your living room for everyone to admire and so you can start remembering the good times all over again  :)

So here are some things you need to start doing this wreath:

▲ a long grapevine twig 
▲ parts from a branch cut to different sizes
▲rope
▲scissors
▲lots of mini photos with beautiful memories ♡
▲glue or glue gun( I used Martha Stewart glue )
▲decorations 
▲pins
▲printed text template that can be downloaded below ➴

you can directly DOWNLOAD the text by clicking HERE


  .b use a single string of rope and end it at the same point where you started  








✄ start preparing your decorations! 


◭I wrapped some string around the smaller wood sticks and tied them to the circle as a base for the decorations

◭I've cut and distressed the paper bands with the text part ( I used Tim Holtz distress Ink pad which you can find here at Carte de Coeur to make them look vintage 

◭ floral stamen from Hobby Lobby you can find it HERE

◭ Tim Holtz sizzix Bird Branch and Regal Crest 

◭wooden house from Prima 

◭ white acrylic paint

◭ lovely polymer flower pins made by Lollyrot Scrapbooking 





❤ best part !
 start decorating the wreath but remember to leave space for the mini photos or whatever your heart desires 

❤ pin the mini photos with colored pins so it looks pretty



❤ That's it! you can decorate it with whatever you want !
and if you are making a Happy memories wreath with photos
don't forget to leave space for future happy moment in your life!
☺

Christmas cookies as gifts- Prăjiturele de craciun

M-am tot gândit ce daruri să meşteresc Crăciunul ăsta...şi cum am descoperit recent că ador să gatesc prăjituri, am zis..hei un set de prăjiturele făcute acasă ar aduce cel mai bine spiritul crăciunului în casele oamenilor aşa că m'am pus pe treaba şi iată rezultatul , după multe ore de muncă şi reţete combinate..I NAILED IT! : D

Dacă doriţi reţetele oricarei dintre prăjiturici să imi lasaţi un comment si le voi posta ; )
1. biscuiţi cu gem şi cocos
2. steluţe cu marţipan
3.biscuiţi spriţaţi cu ciocolată
4. turte dulci cu ghimbir
5. cupcakes cu portoclae şi miere


This Christmas I decided to gift homemade cookies :D it was the best idea I ever had! so here is the result!
