Inspired by - Illustrated Wreaths

This year I have not been blogging. Instead I have been moving across the country, working a variety of jobs, going to school online, and trying to be a good mom/girlfriend/friend. While I have still been occassionally reading some of my favorite blogs, I haven't personally felt inspired to make anything let alone write about making anything.
As I am approaching 30 - I vow to change that. I need to get my craft back!
While browsing some of my favorite websites lately I discovered a reoccurring theme - these illustrated floral wreaths that were encircling another illustration.


"Custom Illustrated Garland Cards" by Rifle Paper Co.


"The Bees Knees" Print - The Black Apple


"Bertha" - Illustration by Carson Ellis

What I love about all of these illustrations is that they have a sweet, hand painted style. They make me want to learn to draw and paint like this! They would all make great gifts, too.

Speaking of gifts, Christmas is on the way and I need to plan some handmade gifts. Some thoughts: Handmade ornaments, baked goods, scarves, plush creatures, banners, cross-stitched and framed art.

What are you making?
