'Tis the season

December has creeped up again, I feel like this year has gone by SO fast. I love the holiday season...at home. Family, friends, baking, warm fires, baking, snow, crafts ( rum-nog) What's not to love?

I made a wreath last year and kept the frame. The frame is metal, I just composted the branches and put it away for the years to come. I got out my scissors this afternoon and walked around the yard clipping branches. It took me about  20 minutes to put this together. I pulled out some ribbon from the holiday box and a few small decorations to finish it off.

This morning I went to Ocean's Entrepreneur fair, this is her last year in Jr. High and all the students are required to make and sell a product.  Ocean and Becky (besties) choose to make moustaches on a stick! It was super loud in the gymnasium, but fun(nny). There was a lot of pet rocks for sale. HAHA.  I hope they sold out, otherwise family will be getting some moustaches for presents.

Making a winter wreath

 

I thought I would try to make a winter wreath, it was fun and made the house smell good! I went to the craft store to picked up the supplies. A metal frame, some wire and a few decorations.  I didn't even need to use the wire (except for the hanging of it). I just tucked the branches around it, and they held into place. When you are taking clippings from the trees, try to get the baby branches, they are much easier to work with. It was pretty inexpensive to make, 11 dollars. I think if I can find a pretty ribbon I might make a bow for it?
