BLOGTOBER FEST 2013 DAY 15

Today is my 75th birthday and I love it. I am at the age where everything is falling into place. I have no real obligations to babies and kiddies other than to love them  unconditionally, I have more then I need of most things and can usually do whatever touches my fancy. Life is good
Giant tissue paper  flowers
My granddaughter is having a DIY wedding for the most part so along with celebrating my birthday I spent the day, or at least part of it, working on some giant tissue flowers for my grand daughter's maids of honor  I have 4 almost finished and should be able to finish them off tomorrow. Then I will make one for her. The same but a little different. It was a lot of fun making them and when finished I will be working on the corsages for moms etc...These flowers are about 16 inches across so the corsages will be considerable smaller...

The flowers are easy and there was a tutorial online for several different versions but she liked this one. The hardest part was finding the tissue paper in the right colors. I will add a stem and a couple of leaves to these and call them finished.

    Happy belated birthday!

    Your granddaughter is lucky to have you on her DIT (Do-It-Team ;) ). Those tissue paper flowers remind me of the hundreds of coffee filter poof-balls that we made to decorate the tents we used for our outdoor ceremony a year and a half ago. It wound up looking wonderful, but it was a ton of work. Congratulations to her on her marriage!
