Mesh Wreaths

This is an update on my business I told you about several months ago.  I am setting up at the local flea market once a month to try to sell my wreaths and accessories.  I am also hoping to do several booths this holiday season.  I have had so much interest in my wreaths that I am hoping to sell a bunch of football wreaths and Christmas wreaths.  While I like having purses, jewelry, books bags, and other accessories, I really enjoy making wreaths. When making a mesh wreath I try to stay the same price as everyone else, except I want mine to be bigger, fuller, and more plush.  I also try to use metal decals on them instead of cardboard or wooden.  I am hoping business will pick up soon.  I have sold two wreaths so far with a lot of people liking them.  I can custom make wreaths also.  I had a lady see a wreath she liked on Esty and asked if I could do one similar.  Well I got to work and put my own spin on it.  I am very pleased with what I came up with.  I am hoping to soon be able to ship wreaths around the US, so that I can expand my business.  I am attaching pictures of my wreaths so that you can see all I have done.  I am so excited about this part of my business.  I am thankful that God has given me this ability and would love to give Him all the credit.  I am posting pictures below.  If you see something you like, let me know.  I would love feed back.  Don't forget to check out these wreaths on facebook/Annabellies Accessories.

Getting organized and creative

I love to organize.  So it is no surprise that I love Pinterest.  Some of my latest projects have come from this website.  I thought I would post some pictures of us getting organized and crafty.  One of my crafty projects has been making a spring wreath for our front door.  I know now why these wreaths sell for $65 and up.  Materials alone are $45 without being on sale or using a coupon.   

On pinterest I pinned a website for organizing your medicine cabinet using stuff from the dollar store.  Here is a picture of what mine looks like:


It's not prefect, but it looks a lot better.

Our last project comes from the www.Ana-White.com
My husband built this for me using the plans off of the website above.  We still need to finish painting it, but this will give you an idea of what it looks like.  We have a small laundry room that is a rectangle shape.  So there isn't a bunch of room for laundry baskets.  Now I don't have to bend over to load my washer and drier and my older kids which are 7 and 5 1/2  can still reach it.  That is a big deal since the two older children help with laundry. 
I would love to see how you get organized this spring and also see some of the craft projects you have completed.
