I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

…or maybe I did.

Check out all these rolled rosettes I’ve made…

I’m hooked!

It’s so fun to see each of them take shape. You cannot mess them up. That’s what I love about them….just when you think you did a wrong twist or turn, it looks good. The more random you are, the better they look!

I also bought some pin backs and have glue gun’d them on some and am going to put little magnets on others to dress up the fridge or anything else metal!

My plan is to make them for teachers, doctor’s office staff, my hair lady, etc. with a little holiday treat attached.

Why didn’t I start making these sooner?

I never really {enjoyed} Joann’s, but I can’t wait to go back and get some holiday fabric.

They would look darling dangling from the Christmas tree, too….

I’m loving the bright, cheery, sunshiny yellow ones!

I volunteered in Elliott’s classroom again this morning.

I tell ya, it was Elmer’s glue gone wild! But I love watching them craft their little hearts out ~ today was an orange cat for this week’s letter “Cc”.

One little classmate cutie ran up to me and said, “Mrs. Asparagus, I have the lunch box that matches Elliott’s backpack!”

So. Cute.

I love it…”Mrs. Asparagus”.

This is a BUSY week for the kindergartners….Red Ribbon week {yes, they’re already learning about “drugs”!}, basketball assembly today, costume parade Thursday, field trip to the pumpkin patch AND Fall Festival on Friday!

Seriously.

Not to mention Holden’s party and parade on Thursday….

But, I DID talk Elliott into being Dorothy for her school parade and the Fall Festival! I found a little blue and white gingham dress at Target on clearance and she agreed to wear it, but NOT for trick-or-treating {she still wants to go door-to-door as a ballerina} Fine, I’ll take it! 😉

We’re currently sourcing a little basket and a small “Toto” dog.

Hope you’re having a {rosey} Tuesday!
