During the summers she works in Rhode Island to earn enough money to make it through two semesters of school...
We are so proud of her for her hard work and the wonderful lady she is turning out to be.... and the wonderful young lady she has always been.
{We love her: does it show....???}
That said, I put together a little care package for her: just some simple little things she might enjoy. We will celebrate her birthday for real when she arrives home {for a couple of days} next month.
To make her birthday more festive for her made a super-simple little garland to decorate her bedroom with... It turned out pretty cute, if I say so myself!
I went through my scrap fabric box and picked out a few cheerful happy colored scraps. I was surprised at how little fabric I needed.
I folded the fabric over {pressed the crease real quick} and cut out a triangle, square or rectangle at random. sometimes I didn't even use a cutting ruler: I just eyeballed it.
In the little garland I made, I used orange and green thread.
I must say I am really happy with the cheerful results!
- Cost: nada {nothing, zip} ~ I had all these things laying around and almost threw them away many times {for clutter control purposes, I'm sure you've heard of it....}
- Time: less than an hour
- Result: pretty dang cute happy cheerful celebration decoration!!!
