We have had a hard week and a half or so. Last weekend Hazel had the stomach bug and a high fever. I managed not to catch it from her but then Thursday I got it while we were out at our last trip to the Boston American Girl Store (it closes on the 20th). I am finally starting to feel like I may be back to normal tonight. However on Tuesday or Wednesday I did manage to run some errands and found the sweetest spring wall decor at Joann Fabrics. However I didn't want to spend the money on them and thought it would be fun to make our own. I happened to find some smaller framed Valentine wall art in the clearance section and some scrapbook paper on clearance as well. Then I got some wooden circles at Walmart. Hazel and I decided to use our words for 2019. I painted the circles with chalkboard paint because I had some. We picked out our background paper and glued them in. I wrote our words on them in pink paint marker. Then glued the circles into the frames. Next we decided to decorate them.
Hazel decided to keep her decorations simple since she chose the fun bunny background. I used our mini flower punch and some of the paper I got on clearance. We love how it came out.
I decided to make some of the felt flowers like my inspiration. I decided on three of them with some hand cut leaves. These flowers are just a strip of felt folded in half and rolled. I glue the end to secure it. I love how our spring wall decor came out. Now to decide where to put them.
