Merry Christmas and How to Make a Small Boxwood Wreath

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I'm going to take a couple of weeks off to spend time with my family. I hope you get a chance to do something special this holiday season or spend time with your family. Thank you for all of you who have read my blog this year and made such nice comments.

Before I sign off I wanted to show you how to make this quick small boxwood wreath I made.

All you need is:

Wire cutters

Green wire

Boxwood clippings 

Simply make a wire circle and then take small amounts of wire and wrap it around the stem of the boxwood and fan out the boxwood clippings. You can make this as full or as sparse as you want. I wanted mine to be a mini size. This wreath took less than ten minutes to make. I hope you get a chance to make one of these. They're pretty festive. 

Wishing you all a blessed holiday season. See you next year! 

Merry Christmas and a Wreath Tip

We had our family pictures taken by my friend Andrea this year.  Our families did a photo swap with each other and another friend's family. It was busy, but we all got our family pictures done and then we had our Harvest Party together. What a fun day!

                 We printed our pictures through Zazzle this year. They were easy and quick to make.

Now for a tip: I've had several people ask me how I hung my wreaths on my window. Two words: Suction cups. I've seen how other people loop ribbon or burlap up top or bring it through the window- which looks so great. However, since my windows don't open up through the top I thought the easiest way to put them up would be suction cups. They've been great and held on tight. I got my wreaths at AC Moore for only a couple of dollars each.

                                 I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! I'll be back next week.
