wreath




wreath has got to be one of the weirdest words- wreath wreath...say it 4 times in a row really fast...I feel almost a little impaired when I say it- it's a word that actually gives you the ok to speak with a lisp. wreath- and is definitely a word the Brazilians would slaughter- the whole 'th' thing doesn't exactly roll of their tongue too easily.

ok so here is my Christmas wreath I put together a little while back...I am sort of proud of it. It took me awhile to be confident enough in it- I stared at it all the time...and then suddenly I decided I really liked it- plus joette and janna liked it too- and so it was good to go after that.



this is a before-





the camera isn't doing this thing any justice-

Marie, All I did was by the twig wreath at Joanne's with a 50% off coupon so it came to $6 and then I bought strands of holiday berry garland with coupons of course (I deliver papers- you know the whole coupon thing)- I bought 2 different types of garland with different size berries- and the bigger berries are a little different color too- and then I just tore the garland apart with wire cutters and twisted pieces through the twigs- no glue- just twisting in and out and playing around until it stayed and looked good- it was really fun and theraputic-

the whole wreath cost me $16- and the one I originally wanted from Target was $69 so-
