So, Preston brings home some wire, pine cones, a metal hoop 4 feet round and some other misc. items to proclaim "We are making a home made wreath this year" We have an old artificial tree in the rafters that has been there for years, now it has a whole new life! ... Usually I am the crafty one but this set me into minor shock. Pleased I said LETS DO THIS! He had the whole idea planned out and executed perfectly. He even had a theme: Oregon Ducks [BCS still #1 I may add.....] So with some last minute bulb shopping, quick YouTube viewing on "how to make a bow" and a couple handy kids we did it! The wreath is beautiful, heavy and a true masterpiece! I do believe he really had a good time making it as he brought home a couple more metal rings this weekend.
**** There will be photos and craft plan for the wreath in 2 weeks on the website! ****
Holidays are here: weather is cool, stockings are hung, my plants are dead (didn't adhere to the weather warnings this time, oops.) - Now I am starting some new indoor specimens to hopefully outlive my seasonal non-green thumb. There is much to be thankful for this season and we have been truly blessed!
Have a very Happy Holiday Season!
