One of my sweet online friends who lives in Arkansas just went through a horrible hail storm.  It decimated all the fresh green leaves and plants in her area.  My heart goes out to her and others who will have trees without lush green canopies overhead this summer.  It’s truly a gardener’s nightmare.

You know the saying… when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.  If you’re like Betty and all the blooms have been stripped from your trees and shrubbery… make paper blooms.  I know it won’t be quite the same… but when I did this a few years ago… they turned out wonderfully.

Grab a few sticks from the storm’s debris and check out this post for simple tutorial and supply list. Be your own Mother Nature and create some faux spring blossoming branches to brighten your home decor.  😉

I normally link up at Cupcakes and Crinoline, but missed party last week because for some reason the link up button just kept spinning, and it is doing same thing to me this week so I hopped on over so I wouldn’t miss the fun party. Always lots of fun links to checkout! Have a wonder day!
