Hello, Dear Ones! Well, I've admitted it before and I'll do it again ~ I am a copy cat! You poke something at my eyes ~ a thing of beauty ~ I want it ~ and I will try to copy it. That's what I've done but I'm battered, bruised and burned and I've lived to tell you about it!
Are you familiar with this most wonderful blog of inspiration...Under the Table and Dreaming?

That's not all...I was twirling away and hot glued the bottom circle of paper to the bottom of a rose and then it sprung out like a Jack in a Box! Oh, Lord have mercy! So I had to start gluing continuously as I twirled! Now comes the burning and blistering. Hot glue! Oh, I burned and blistered my most dainty fingers and even commenced to burn my upper lip! Don't ask how I did that! Oh, I was almost bleeding! Proceed with caution...
And finally...
I have a most gorgeous paper rose wreath made from the pages of a book!!
Now, Dear Ones, this is a small wreath and I believe Stephanie made a big one. I can't imagine how long it must have taken her. She's wonderful and all but I'm sure she rolled, twisted and twirled for many days. I wonder if she burned her dainty fingers? She's just not going to tell us. :)
As you see below, I'm really milking my most gorgeous wreath for all it's worth! :)
Do I get something for joining the most parties ever? :) You can always click on The Parties I Attend Page at the top of my blog to see parties I love to go to!

I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's O.K., lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
You come on with your come-ons, you don't fight fair
That's O.K., see if I care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Come On, Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
