Back when
this was making the rounds of Pinterest, I knew I wanted to attempt a copy cat project. I even devoted a Friday Finds post to the
DIY elements. I hurriedly ran to Safeway, secured a six pack of Red Stripe and promptly drank them all throughout the course of weekend football watching. Then I got stuck. Or rather the labels got stuck. Turns out Red Stripe prints their labels right on the bottle rather than a sticker. Hrrmm. The project stalled out with a bundle of wheat and some cute signs I found at Michael's, waiting for an answer. I tried Papyrus thinking that I could get a roll of wrapping paper that would cover it up. I bought a sheet of orange gift wrap that looked more like a Diwali theme than a subtle Thanksgiving one. I was desperate to make things work - even to the point of paying $5 for a stinkin' sheet of wrapping paper that I knew wasn't jiving. I charged on, channeling my inner Tim Gunn, trying to make it work.
Then Katie Bower announced the
fall Pinterest challenge and I knew I had to persevere. One morning as I stood in line at Peet's, steamed milk froth filling my senses, I was struck by inspiration for a work around. Actually, the idea hit once I had my drink in hand. The cup insulators.
Thus I present, my humble interpretation of the
great harvest thanks display:
Don't forget to check out the other challengers (through the link party on the hosts' pages), especially the hosts:
