This is the year of the paper rose ornament. I wish the pictures would show all the twinkles from the glitter sparkling in the sunshine! This new job of mine takes me away from home from 7:45 - 5pm. That means the sun is only up with I'm at work. It also means that I can only take pictures on the weekends. This weekend is the first I've been home in about a month. Feels great! I love the pale lilac color of this one. It's quiet and ghostly. I ran out of pearlized pins so substituted with these ancient ones I got from a relative once upon a time. Probably Bakelite! They weren't quite long enough to hold the roses in place, so I had to use plain pins on the bottom/sides to keep them from falling off. Last, but not least - a pretty Easter-colored confection.
