A New Christmas Wreath

Hello everyone!  The days are flying by out there, and I imagine we're all feeling the crunch.  I've missed posting and visiting my friends online, but I've been trying to make up for lost time in Christmas preparations.  I've seen some beautiful posts over the week, and I will be getting around (slowly but surely) to visiting again and leaving a comment this time.

My mom has several beautiful holiday wreaths in her home, and since I've long been a little bored with our Christmas wreath for the front door, I asked my mom if she would help me make a new one.  She's always happy to help.  These are not the best pictures, but the best I could do in a hurry this morning.  ;)


Sorry, this one's a little blurry, but you can get the general idea.  I haven't hung it on the door because I ran out of time yesterday to clean the glass in the storm door.  It's raining here today, but I'll be hanging it tomorrow for sure.  Believe it or not, I spent most of the day yesterday planting pansies (which I purchased near the end of October) and cleaning up our front porch.  Thankfully, the pansies were extremely healthy plants, and I was still able to use all 12 of them.

So, back to the wreath.  My mom made the bow and I think she did a fantastic job.


I don't do bows.  I've tried and tried -- even watched online tutorials, all to no avail.  Maybe one day I'll get the hang of it.  I hot-glued all the other pieces onto the wreath, and "Voilà," new Christmas wreath.  I love the way it turned out!
