Snowflakes keep falling on my head

Sorry I've been gone lately. I have been super busy.
The things I have been busy with involve lots of paint... lots of it... gallons seriously.

Soooo posts for the next few weeks may not be super regular.

I promise that I will make it up to you.

But for now here is a quickie to get us excited.

It's getting to be that time!
When my house gets transformed into a winter wonderland.
I LOVE Christmas decorating.
I really wish it could stay up longer then a month.

I thought that a cute simple wreath to show off my aqua front door was in order.



Tada!

Saw one on pinterest and had to make one for me. 



Supplies:
Embroidery hoop
White felt
Wide ribbon
Hot glue & glue gun
Snowflakes (mine came from wal-mart)

Cost? Less then $5

Directions:
• Cut your felt into 1 inch strips and hot glue them around the embroidery hoop.
• Glue on the wide ribbon covering up the hoop clasp.
• Arrange your snowflakes so you know spacing, then glue them in place.
• Go and paint your front door aqua... What? A little much for you? *wink*


I know I know. It really is too cold to paint front doors right now.
But I know that you would secretly love to :-)

All of my love,
The Girl with the Aqua Front Door

    Lovely wreath. No reason why you couldn't leave that up all winter since it's not particularly a Christmas wreath but rather a winter wreath.
