big beautiful tissue flowers...


remember making flowers out of colored tissue paper? usually your hands would end up stained the color of the flower. i remember making them sometime during my elementary years in school...can't pinpoint if it was in a classroom or the art room. but i have always loved them.

when visiting arizona a few years back we purchased some at a 'junk shop' and they are perched along the top of amanda's bedroom windows.

we stayed at a cabin over easter weekend one year and i purchased numerous colors of paper and i taught melanie and amanda how to create these lovlies.

something so simple brings such joy!

so i was thinking about them again the other day...i had no pretty colored tissue in pink, green, yellow, blue or purple but i did have some old sewing patterns...i knew i would not be using them again so i went to it! they are just as lovely...and part of the 'recycks' line now!

life is grand when you get to play with the things that rekindle such wonderful memories...
now if i could only make crayola candles...(my mother knows what i'm talking about!)!
