~Create, Cook and Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays #155~

I love creating new projects.

We saw this idea using scrapbook paper to make a lampshade.

All you need is a wine glass, scissors, double sided tape, 

scrapbook paper, template and LED tea light.

We found the idea from Good Housekeeping.

I have lots of craft paper and found

 this romantic paper for the project.

You can make a romantic setting, 

just by using paper and a wine glass. 

I had some pretty rose scrapbook paper.

Another idea for a charming tablescape.

Carly made some rosemary focaccia last night 

from a recipe she found online.

It was a delicious!

Stan and I just got back from a road trip in the Pacific Northwest.

We found lots of wonderful shops in

Aberdeen, Quinault, Seabrook, Lake Townsend, Whidbey Island, Mt. Vernon and Seattle.

I'll share photos of the trip next week.

Can't wait to go back,

it was just BEAUTIFUL!!

I wanted to share photos of our garden this week.
