Because Froufrou Counts!

I am going to start a Froufrou Friday on my blog. If you'd like to participate, just let me know. All you have to do is show something sweet, decorative and/or froufrou around your house or something you are working on. I think it'll be fun. I'll give the details in a few days. We'll start in July on a friday. I'll certainly let you know in a few days.

By now you should know my philosophy: Roses in every yard and froufrou in every house. Uh huh!! :-) So with the sweet letter I got from my letter swap pal in Ireland and the letter written on beautiful roses scrapbooking paper I made this in remembrance of her letter. Isn't it sweet? Nuuuuu, this will never be in a giveaway; it's MINE.


Bottom is the paper she sent; top is a tiny scrap I had laying around here. I added all the trim of roses, garland, bows and I made a little door with a pearl door knob.

It was sort of funny but as I sprayed glue on the little rooftop of the birdhouse, the writing showed though. After I put the german glass glitter on though it dried and the writing was gone. I thought it would have been neat to see the writing through it. Alas, but no. Her paper is on each side.

The paper wasn't big enough to cover the back so I used a piece I had here.

The roof is her paper also.

Kathleen, thank you so very, very much for that lovely paper. I truly loved it.

  2. What a great way to keep a treasure! You can actually look at it and smile instead of putting it away in a box to be viewed every so often! I am not too frou-frou but will give it a shot!

  9. Hi Connieness! Oh, What a sweet little bird house you've embellished! How wonderful to receive your swap from so far away!
    Thanks for popping in to see me and yes, my Mr. Precious loves me. But I wish he loved me enough to take a wood working class and build a little shelf to get my microwave off the counters like you suggested many moons ago! :)
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)
