DIY Golden Wreath

I was inspired by this wreath (and loosely inspired by this wreath) to make a wreath out of golden leaves.  I already had all of the supplies so this project was free!  If I were to do this again, I would try and get leaves with a veiny texture.

Needed:
+cardboard (or some kind of foam wreath base)
+hot glue gun
+fake leaves (or real if you want a temporary wreath)
+gold spray paint - I used Rustoleum

The pictures are pretty self explanatory:

The wreath is so lightweight, I was able to hang it up with masking tape.  Will hopefully share better after pictures soon.

Life With Cora :: 7 Months

Two weeks late...

I know I say this every month, but geez she is getting old!  This month, Cora has two teeth that started growing in, she's getting pretty good at 'crawling' around, and she spends a lot of time talking.

Her personality comes out more and more each day.  She is always happy and smiley.  In the morning she wakes up and 2 seconds later she is giving us giant smiles and trying to 'crawl' around and play.  It is so much fun to watch her exploring parts of our apartment and observing everything around her.

The lamb stuffed animal was a gift that my Boppa brought to Cora in the hospital, so it is pretty special to us.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming holidays and getting to see Cora observing all of the lights, snow, holiday decorations, family get togethers, etc.  I took some 7 month pictures that I originally intended for holiday cards, but I've come up with another idea for the cards...  So here are more pictures:
