centerpiece idea
Found these at Ross recently (so you KNOW they were a great deal) and thought they'd be perfect as a cluster of three on our dining room table. Except I'm not a big fan of raffia. So I bought some pretty ribbon, pulled off the raffia and did a little switch-a-roo.

Hi Becky,
These arrangements look great!
Sort of a happy tropical feel.
I was recently redecorating our girl's bathroom and I wanted a plain wispy wreath in there. The natural brown color did not fit the scheme. Well, I bought a can of white glossy spray paint.
That's all that it needed. It looks
perfect against the blue sea breeze walls.
Hey, I tried to print the time capsule documents you uploaded but couldn't open the files. My daughter is helping with a friend's party tomorrow and we thought it would be a great thing for these teen girls to do.
Thanks and have a great day!

The ribbon really makes these pieces. Thanks for the inspiration.
The ribbon is so much better!! They turned out nice!!
so cute :)
Great arrangement! I never go in that store. We need something new for our dining room table so I might have to check it out.
Hope you are having a great week!
I love the Better Homes and Garden website for inspiration. I use it when I am looking for wreath ideas. It's www.bhg.com. Lots of good recipes too.
Becky,
I just wanted to say thank you for keeping your blog updated so often- It justs adds a little something special to my day.
Now that my Christmas decorations are down I need a new centerpiece, thanks for the ideas.

ha! I'm sending my mom the link to this entry so she can see that someone besides me is anti-raffia! I swear the stuff makes me twitch! ;)
Definitely like the ribbon so much better. I love Ross for decorating too. My other favs for great decorating finds are Tuesday Mornings and Kohl's.
I'm moving my two boys in together, to prepare for baby #3, and finding the "tweaking" to make it more both of theirs very challenging.
I have two questions/request...
You may be sick of this question, but I was so excited about your plan to do a KOTM school album, and having been holding off on my son's in hopes of getting that...or at least seeing it. Can you give us any indication of when it will be available? Thanks!
Secondly, I'd love to know how you organize your kids' rooms. I love getting hand-me-downs from friends but it is getting overwhelming...especially with 2 sharing the same closet & dresser. Give us a peek when you get a chance!
Thanks!
The ribbon is definately a better choice.
How do you have such a good vision for "tweaking" something like that? I would have just gone "ugh" and looked right over them, if they weren't to my liking....
Wow, what an amazing effect they have now.
I (and I'm sure many others) would love to see more of your home and it's decor, Becky. You have such an amazing style.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

I love adding ribbon to things. Speaking of ribbon my mom and I have a serious love for ribbon and we had so many spools we needed a new storage solution. [we used to store them on a dowel that was stuck into a square piece of wood.] So a few months ago we were looking around the house and I found a small quilt shelf, removed the rod and added a dowel that fit the holes of my ribbon. For the rest of the ribbon I took brackets that you use for draprey rods and screwed them into the wall and added another dowel. I like that second one better, you just lift it right off. And it is a super cheap solution.
What a difference the ribbon makes! I LOVE it! Thanks for keeping us updated on the goings on in your life - you are so sweet to share so much of your life and your time with us!!
I have glass cabinets in about half my kitchen. I have put some homemade canned items towards the front of some of the shelves to give some color since they are white cabinets.
And the ribbon does look better.

Becky,
I have used this same ribbon before to embellish frames for my house. There is a frame designer called Bella Fiore frames and they use lots of silk flowers, paint and ribbon to embellish wood craft photo frames and I have duplicated these same ones using simple items purchased from the craft store and this ribbon since it looks kinda like leaves for silk flowers.

oh I love the After. Great job.
Your blog has it all. You're like a one stop shop type of place. I love that you're a GREAT INSPIRATION for all of us here not only in scrapbooking but also in every aspect of our everyday life. However, I also get a lot of ideas from all other bloggers here. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU TOO! It's so refreshing to read your blog and the people's responses. Keep it coming Becky. You have no idea how much you enrich our lives.

Hi Becky, I love what the ribbon has done for these centerpieces. It's a perfect touch! My favorite center piece is my two tiered wire rack. I keep it on my dining room table and switch out the contents for each season/holiday. I attached a link to show my Valentine centerpiece. It's a nice way to contain a bunch of items in one spot. Check out the recipe at the bottom too for my Sweet Party Mix. I know how much you like recipes. Hugs!
