Just for fun - Rose Bucket

So this afternoon I am headed to Jasper, IN to the Doodlebug to teach the A Musing Florals class which features a paper rose.  I felt that a few moments this morning should be devoted to making sure that I remember how to make a paper rose.  I make my class samples way in advance of the class so on "C-Day" (class day) I try to make sure my skills haven't all fallen out over the last few weeks.

Surely this has happened to you before - One day you are walking around thinking, "I'm all that and a big ol' bag of chips" and next thing you know you've lost your car and are stumbling around aimlessly in the Neiman Marcus parking lot looking for it (doesn't that sound fancier than the truth - that I sometimes lose my car at Wal-Mart? sigh. . . .)

Anyhoo, I still got it and I proved it by making this rose and using it to decorate this fun little bucket that I picked up at the Target Dollar section (that area can be a very happy place for a crafter!!) - Tomorrow, I'll show pics from class. . .
Everything but the teeny bucket and shipping tag is from A Muse!!
