Wreath Things.

   On Thursday the little boy that I babysit after school asked me, "You all done with that wreath thing, Vicki?". He's just the cutest! On Wednesday, while I was babysitting him, my sister and I were making our Spring wreaths and he was right in the middle. He seemed to really love the creative mess that was overtaking my dining area. He explored the different items and had strong opinions on what our wreaths should look like. I guess the DIY creativeness was as enjoyable for him as it was for me, because he was hoping to do it all over again that day!
   I made my first wreath this past December to try to dress up our ugly front door for the Holiday Season (since we never got around to putting up lights!). My two oldest sisters and I got together and tried our hand at making something festive and pretty! It was a great afternoon of fun and bonding with us girls (Kara, if you are reading this: we missed you!). Here's what I ended up with. I was pretty proud of it and I think it looked great on our front door. It looked so nice, in fact, that I only took it down this past week (months after Christmas decorations are appropriate!).

   For my spring wreath I followed a tutorial from the lovely lady at Frou Frou & Frills. She even has an easy-to-follow video tutorial if the written instructions and pictures are not making sense! I was a little intimidated when I first purchased the items and sat down to create - but it was actually so easy! The hardest part was deciding what to put on the wreath!! Anyways, I like the finished project and I am excited to have it on my door welcoming our new Spring weather (although I hear that snow is in the forecast! Boo!). While hanging my Spring wreath I did take note of just how ugly our front door is. Its going onto the top of Hubby's "To Do" list once the nice weather hits! ;)

   Well, that's all I've got in the way of "wreath things". Hope you enjoyed! And I would love to hear about your go-to Spring decor that helps to scare away the Winter and welcome the Spring!
