This afternoon our good friend Natalie came to visit us. We decided to do something besides go shopping while she was here, this is usually the activity she & I do. I had found a picture for these cute Easter vases in a magazine at work & really wanted to try them. I convinced her to "craft" with me. I think the hardest part was picking vases & flowers we liked, after about an hour at hobby lobby we came out successful. Not only did we have our supplies we got it all for 50% off! After a quick & delicious dinner we headed to the grocery store to buy jelly beans, you know you get some strange looks when all you are buying at 830 pm on a Friday night is
10 bags of jelly beans. No we are not depressed roommates going home to drown our sorrows in sugar shaped beans we are "crafting." We are both slightly OCD about a few things and apparently having the jelly beans all mixed together is one because we both insisted on separating the beans by color before adding them to the vase. Mark was such a great helper, he documented & broke apart the flowers we were to weak to get apart. Some how we didn't think about the fact that you need wire cutters to cut wire stems....silly are we!

~Turned out pretty good~

We celebrated after our project was finished by eating some pie, oh the glorious taste of pie! MMMMMMMMMM

cute!!! I just saw those in a magazine an hour ago!!! This is not a good craft for me because I would eat it:(
We just bought Jelly beans that we know didn't taste very well, it worked pretty well!
I am very impressed. I need to do crafts. You should call me so I can start doing crafts with you. We should do craft night when Mike has band practice.
