Hello everyone!!

Sorry that it has been a little while since I posted on the blog. I do update my facebook page regularly but when it comes to blogging I am a bit laid back. 

Today I am here to share some handmade flowers and gift bags that I made for Ganesha festival.

Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated in a grand way at home through the generations. My maternal Grandmom used to get a real floral mantap done every year for the festival.

This year we decided to do a peach and gold theme. The flowers on the arch are handmade. This was my first try of Foamiran flowers and enjoyed making the same. They are easy to work with but require a lot of patience too. They have been coloured using archival inks and the beautiful pollens are a giveaway that I won from Icraft. For the gift bags I have used Forever and Always paper pack from Itsy Bitsy and used We R Memory Keepers gift bag punch board for the same. The beads rangoli design was done by my Mom a few years back and the colours can be changed. I am also sharing a pic of my messy table as I thoroughly enjoyed making the flowers though it was a long process. So here are the pictures.

My messy craft table....but this is also my happy place!!

The whole thing was put together by my sister, sister-in-law and me. I hope you all like them too!!
