Mr. Mailman.....


delivered this fun box yesterday!  You may be wondering what I am going to do with 500+ used wine corks, and that is a very good question.  Because why on earth would someone need that many wine corks?  Well, I decided a little while back to start up an online boutique of handmade items for the home, and one of the stars of the show will be the wreath you see below.  With the baby on the way, my wine drinking, and consequently my cork collecting, has been put on hold....so I had to call in the reinforcements or rather I just had to jump on Ebay.  I will tell you more about Amanda Carol Designs in just a few weeks when the store gets up and running.

Laura, I am planning to sell book page wreaths. I just have to figure out how to ship them without the pages getting crushed. :)

Dayle, you are so sweet to offer the corks! I have a couple of fun projects you can do with them, so I will send those to you in a bit. That way you can make something for yourself!
