*paper & ribbon topiary*

My best friend, Jess, is getting married in March. I had the privilege of co-hosting a bridal shower for her several weeks ago. I stumbled across a ribbon topiary online and wanted to make one for her gift table. This is what I came up with. They're really not hard to make, just a bit time comsuming. Most of the topiaries I saw were made with just ribbon. I decided to make mine mostly with patterned papers and a few ribbons scattered in between.

Thanks for stopping by!

*Livi's snowman*

Here's the snowman I promised to share with you. My 6 year-old daughter, Livi made him out of socks, beans, string, buttons, and a toothpick. I think he's darling. He makes my heart happy. I will treasure him forever just because my sweet little girl made him just for me. Livi would *love* to know what you think. (((wink)))
