A Pool noodle base?? What?? Tell me how??? First, gather 9 pool noodles at the dollar store. Use duct tape to tape them together, 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top of the two. Do this in sections of three, then tape the 3 sections together. This creates your wreath base. Now, get some killer wallpaper (magnolia Perhaps???) grab 2 or 3 kinds the go together. This will help create dimension and interest. In this wreath, I sprinkled in some craft paper. Now, cut about 200 leaves and make a crease in all the them. Once you’re done cutting and creasing, attach the leaves with hot glue at the end of the leaf and pressing it against the pool noodle. Remember, to cover the noodle completely. This is so EASY! You can go crazy, add berries, lights, or moss. The only limit is your imagination! Ready set GO!

Time to think Holiday Greens! I love everything about this time of year.

I can almost smell the evergreens! I love, love, love it! This traditional lady is jam-packed with spruce tips, oregonia, cedar and jaybanches, and plain old happiness. This lady makes me so happy when i’m driving up to my home. When everything else has lost it’s battle with the snow and bitter cold. There she is, waiting to put a smile on my face. Happy Holidays!
