you MUST leave a comment on each and every Diva’s blog on all three days,
and on each daily post here at CSD, letting us know that you have commented

While you are hopping along, you may find that a Diva may be offering
a prize on their own personal blog as well.  So you definitely won’t want to
skip over anyone.

Did you get a chance to see all the lovely projects the Divas DT created Monday and Tuesday?
Great inspiration from them all!

To  continue with my flower theme, I chose to make a wreath for the final day of the Hop!

This wreath doesn't have any Cricut Cuts but I did make the rosettes from
some wired ribbon, paper flowers, and glittery paper.  I added the Mardi Gras beads and a few other Easter/Spring embellishments (jellishments are by doodlebug design inc.) which I had in my stash since last Easter.  The wreath is a 12" grapevine  round wreath.  I started by wrapping my set of lights first, then adding some pink ribbon, and finishing the outside with a fabulous yellow ribbon full of fun and colorful Easter eggs.  I almost forgot I had it, until I found it at the bottom of a ribbon box yesterday!  SCORE!!!.   I wrapped the beads around next, leaving ample space in between each wrap.  Next came the rosettes.  These were made with the same technique you use to make paper rosettes, then finished off with some paper flowers and false stamens in the centers. I chose to use several of the other embellishments to accent the color scheme of the ribbons and flowers.

I owe my inspiration to a few challenges that helped inspire me (since I really haven't had much of my own crafty mojo to run on lately) to create this Home Decor.

Queen of My Craftroom - Spring Altered Project 
Krafty Girls - #3 Get Growing (handmade flower)

For my blog candy, I will offer up some 'random' Unity Stamps to one lucky follower and commenter.  Unfortunately, due to personal finances right now and the high prices of international shipping, I will only be able to mail the candy to a winner in the US or Canada.  I really hate to do this, because I have a lot of lucky Blends that live over seas.  I have never not included them, and have been able to ship to as far as India in the past.   But, the time will come when I am offering candy again (some time in the future) where you will ALL be included, once again.  I hope you can understand.

To win, be sure to follow my blog and stop back all three days for the hop and leave a comment on each day's post.
