MAY CAME A LITTLE EARLY

March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers.

Not at my house. The flowers came in March.

Abby Sue's room is quite pretty now, but it still needs a few things. On her birthday list, she wanted a flower garden in her room. Pretty tall order, considering I don't have a green thumb and the cat would chow down anything that we planted. So, we decided to do the next best thing - and fake it.

I bought some bristolboard from the Dollar store and cut out the frame of the window box.

I cut the sides as well, and then used this wonderful duct tape all around the outside.

Then I took some foam squares and placed them inside. We have fake flowers all over the house, so I grabbed them all up and went to work.

Abby Sue and I bought some really, really pretty birds on sale at Christmas specifically for this project.

So, now my baby has beautiful flowers all year round

I love how they turned out, and the best part is the project cost me a whopping $6.23. Easier and cheaper than a gardener, isn't it?
