What I really came on to post lol, some pics of my wreaths.

Here are my latest photos of my wreaths.  You can message me for more details or visit Etsy.com DlitefulCr8tions or I also sell them locally in South Florida on Craigslist and at craft fairs/shows.

Would love to hear your feedback, and will be posting my holiday baked goods, candles, and jewelry soon.




Beware, Halloween Wreath only $40.






I can custom make any design for you, this is the same as one on door but with all purple, some people like the mix of colors, others like very matched I am here to please with any way you like.


Spooky, Halloween Wreath $40



Spooky Wreath which is similar to the beware but with bat, skulls garland and then pumpkin on bottom with black glitter roses


Notice the glitter skeleton hands on sides of the roses, this is my own personal touch, that has not yet been copied by my crazy lol.












My first sold design which is the same as others but with BOO spelled out with wooden letters, I painted little purple and orange swirls on them, but forgot to snap a pic before I boxed it up.







Bless Our Home Wreath $65.  All Handmade.  Each piece has been glued or wired on by hand no pre-made prefabricated wreath here.  I take each flower, leaf, pine cone and accent then hand attach to the grapevine wreath






Layout/Sample ideas for customers to see different options they have







This is my silk hydrangea wreath.  I have something similar for spring time in pastels, but saw one like this at Michael's with 3 little gatherings of flowers and a bow, barely any leaves all grapevine for a lot of money.






My witch themed wreath.  Feathers, black cat, eek and witches hat with shoes.  Also had spider web with glow in the dark spiders and glitter spiders.  I have since made my own with a witches glittered broom.





Welcome Wreath $70




Iron candle holder with silk flowers, leaves, glittered pumpkins and harvest fruit with a scarecrow.  I can make with or without glass, and glass can come in orange like pictured or gold, silver or clear crackle.

Halloween/Fall Wreaths

Here are some photos of some holiday crafting I have been doing.  I am going to take photos of all the custom stuff I make, handmade goodies, baked goodies and more.  Also once I get the house decorated I will try to post some photos of that as well.

First off I made a Halloween wreath that was witch themed for myself, but a friend saw it and offered me money for it so I couldn't turn her down.  She also happens to be a neighbor so the other neighbors have all been asking so I showed them a few ideas I had found for wreaths on pinterest and Michael's site now I am making them for people and charging anywhere from $35-$65 depending on size, theme, detail and expense for products.  The photos below are not finished, they are still being completed.  Just wanted to get some samples up so you can get an idea of how they look.  The witch one will have legs dangling from the bottom on one and the other one I used a broom instead of the word eek.  Then the fall ones I have owls, scarecrows, turkey, acorns, and so much more.  Also have these cute bells that are shaped either like pumpkins or acorns if you want one that makes a little noise, some people like that on the door so they hear when it is opened or closed.  I will be posting more photos after the weekend cause during the week I have to literally steal time from my kids and taking care of my mom to get any time to do anything like this.  Things have been hectic with two kids in school now and since my mom fell and broke her hip=(.

I also make fall/thanksgiving which I have a photo of one, ones with initials, house numbers, anytime of the year wreaths, any holiday, candle wreaths, smaller ones, all kinds of things.  I love to do crafts.  I also make blinged out candles, candle holders, towels, jewelry, chair covers for the holidays, blinged out phone case, ipod covers, pumpkins, anything you can think of I can bling it up.

Look through my blog for my Halloween event last year if you want to see some of my custom decor, dessert/candy table for Halloween and my custom Halloween cakes, cupcakes, and treats.  I love the holidays and tend to go over board lol.  I just got an awesome pan to make a skeleton in a tomb I can't wait to make it similar to the 3d skull, spider and other types of cakes I have made.

Off to make some more wreaths.

Also there is some photos of a 3 pumpkin stacked topiary with the letter B-O-O on it I got off pinterest. Check out my pinterest page and follow me on there, there should be a link on this blog in side bar, if not go to the top of this page and click the link to my other blog DLitefultrends.  There is for sure a link there for my pinterest account and while you are there look at the menu bar on that page for a contest I am hosting.  Giving away some nail polish and custom made earrings.  Many more contest/giveaways to come, going to try to do one every month or every other month to generate more followers.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Melissa

I will be posting a lot more pics of new recipes, designs and sales.  Along with some dessert and candy tables, wedding photos and so much more.  Keep checking back have a contest coming up on my facebook page shortly for a giveaway then making some breast cancer themed cupcakes to help raise money for a friend who is doing a 5k in honor of her grandmother who had breast cancer.  More details to come and always check my fb page and my trend blog that you can find on the tap at the top of my blog.

Trying to combine all my blogs...

I have three blog sites I have started over the years, this one that I started for my cakes and event/party planning.  Then I have one with some interior design, art, craft, and furniture rehab I got into for awhile.  I also post about deals, coupons and amazing finds I come across when shopping.  Then I started reviewing products I would find on sale, I really enjoy doing the reviews, sharing deals, sales, coupons etc.  Then I also love doing crafts, making things I find on pinterest etc.  I started a blog with some items I sampled and reviewed, some of the recipes on pinterest or nail painting ideas etc I got from pinterest.  I want to combine them all makes it easier for me to keep up with them and then I can also share all of them with everyone who reads the blogs.

Until I can find a way to do this I will post links to the other pages I have in a box on this page.  I would love to eventually have a blog for other stay at home mom's or just mom's in general to share shopping tips, coupons, sales, deals, products I love, etc.

I baked a nice cake this passed weekend for my MIL's birthday, she is into sewing and I decided to do a sewing themed cake since I couldn't think of anything else.  I will post photos later so I can share it with everyone.  Literally I decided the night before to make the cake around 10 pm.  I baked the cake before bed and then woke up early Sunday to decorate it.  I used what I had here and for using what I had on hand it came out great.

Off to try to see how to link the blogs, maybe I will start a new blog and copy, paste all my posts.  I don't know if anyone has any helpful hints or tips let me know=).  Thank you xoxo

Excited to announce that I am back to baking.  Have been baking and making stuff but between my mom's illness in April, then my own personal things and the kids home for the summer I have not been taking orders and working like I was before.  I have tons of new recipes, treats and ideas.  I am making a sewing themed cake and cake pops for a party this weekend.  Then I have some other cakes in the works for my daughter's 5th birthday and more.  Please contact me for orders and details on new projects and event additions.  I can't wait to be back and make your event Dliteful.  I have missed my passion and can't wait to start sharing my delicious and creative work with all of you.  Please join me on facebook and continue to follow me on my blog.  Sorry for any events I missed out on but I promise I am here to stay for awhile and plan to grow more then before.  Thanks for the support.
