Ok. Let’s be candid about this. How many of you like your mother-in-law (MIL)? Anyone? Anyone?

For those of you who asked about the petal cones, here is the website where I got the directions.

I used the 8.5″ x11″ paper template, but cut off the bottom square area to make the cones. I got the paper and the ribbons from Kate’s Paperie. You will need a paper cutter, a self-healing mat, and some adhesive. I used my trusty 3M ATG tape…
