****The blogger issue has been fixed! Spent 2 hours with a tech trying to remove an old template that continued to post codes into my current template. Problem should not happen again! Thanks for your patience!!****

Hello sweet friends!

Welcome to the start of another weekend

and welcome back to our Fun-Day Friday challenges!!!!

After having a couple months off for the summer, the DT is back and ready to play!

I sure hope you are too!!!

Just a few updates I would like to point out

before ya go diving back into things.

Paper Nest Dolls will no longer be sponsoring our challenges. Christine (the owner), is working with a full plate and needed to cut back on being a sponsor to many challenges. We wish her lots of luck and hope to see her back as a sponsor again in the future!

We are looking for more sponsors so if you are a new company or an oldie but goodie and would like to sponsor our Fun-Day Friday Challenges, please send me a note by clicking on the "Contact me" button at the top of this page. We greatly appreciate your support!

With my health taking a plunge downhill over the recent months, it has also caused me to temporarily close shop on my company 3 Twenty Crafts. It really took me by surprise just how fast my health turned but inevitably as fast I was introducing a new company, I was putting it on the back burner. 3 Twenty Crafts will reopen again in 2015 but while the actual store is temporarily closed, I still have stamp sets & Scor-Tape for sale and I will still be a sponsor to some of the challenges. Contact me if you have any questions and most of all, Thank you for your kindness and patience regarding this matter.

So are you ready for some fun this weekend????

Hello my friends! Boy this weekend sure has flown by rather quickly for me but it has been a productive weekend. I was able to spend a good amount of time in my craft room working on challenges, Christmas cards and projects. I did manage to take a break from "Christmas" for a little bit to find time to make a fall wreath that I have been wanting to make.

About 3 weeks ago I was in WalMart and they had a great sale on wreaths and fall decor. This is what set my mind on wanting to make wreaths. These wreaths were $2 so I picked up two of them, one to make for now and one to do for Christmas time.

So here is what the wreath looked like before I started working on it.

I ended up getting out my hot glue gun, glue sticks, ribbons, florals and pine cones and within an hour, this is what I had finished

This wreath cost me about $8 to make! I am very happy and pleased with how this turned out. I have this hanging in my living room above my television. It looks so pretty!! I cannot wait to start working on my Christmas wreath. Well thats it for now and I want to say thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a great Sunday afternoon as I will be watching some football and catching up on school work.

Hugs,
