Pretty creations! Love your box of goodies!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous blog you have here Esther, I am your newest follower! xx
Great idea using the toilet paper roll to make your loops. I love the flowers best. I think a bunch of red poinsettia type flowers made that way would look nice with a stem in a vase. Thanks for sharing your idea with Monday Madness.
