DIY Dollar Tree Spring Wreath
DIY Dollar Tree Spring Wreath
Since I am anxiously waiting for spring so I decided to make a spring wreath. I wanted it for my back door since we come in that door all the time. I also could not be too fat, since we have a screen door and it would squash it.
I saw these wooden bead wreaths at Dollar Tree and thought this would be perfect. Next, I had to get some sullies for it.
I found pink and purple ribbon and some flowers. I choose ones that were small in design since the wooden wreath was not large.
The first thing I did was to separate all of the flowers. I used a pair of snips to do this. I used two dark purple, one light purple and two pink flowers for each set. I wrapped each set with twine to hold them together.
Once I had each set done, I used some more twine to join both sets together. I cut off any extra stems that I didn't need so it would ly flat.
I attached the flowers to the beaded wreath form. I used twine to tie the flowers onto the back of the beaded form.
Finally, I made a bow using the two ribbons. However, they looked better in the package than when I took it off the roll. They were very sheer and you could not tell the difference in their color, but I had already bought it and used it anyway. I tried several other ribbons with them, but nothing worked.

St. Patrick vs Easter Decor on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!
Welcome to the party. So glad you stopped by. I am struggling with having St. Patrick versus Easter decor out. Those holidays are only 2 weeks apart.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was not so great because it rained the entire weekend. I haven't seen that much rain since hurricane season. On top of all the rain, it was cold. It has been a strange winter here in central Florida.
Have a great week ahead.

Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is so far. My daughter and I went to a Vintage fashion show on Saturday. This lady had an exquisite collection of dresses from the 1920s to the 1960s. They were amazing. They had lovely trays of tea sandwiches and desserts. They also had baskets for the silent auction. My daughter won a lovely one all about lemons.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday dear friends. With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I thought I would choose so sweets for the party this week. What's Valentine's Day without some kind of sweets. At least that's my take on it. Hope you find some inspiration or you can just drool over these, like I am.
Enjoy your upcoming weekend.

Valentine Heart Favors
Valentine Heart Favors
These cute little heart favors are easy to put together. Mom usually gives a little something to a few of your best friends. They give each other small and inexpensive gifts.
I had some light and dark pink felt and thought some hearts would be the perfect gift. I was going to make them a stuffed Valentine heart and then decided to make them so we could put some candy in them.
Either one works or you could even glue them closed.
Once I had stitched them closed, I hot glued the pipe cleaners to each side of the heart. If you don't have any pipe cleaners, you could always use some ribbon.
We took them around to her neighbors and if they were not home, we hung them on the door knob.
Now it was time to add the candy. We found lollipop and smarties at the Dollar Tree. She had some Dove heart chocolates. We also had a bag of mixed Hersey mini chocolates.
These would be great as favors on a table or for kids to give other students. A little something to give.

Garden Ideas on You Are the Star
Garden Ideas on You Are the Star
Well to February. Can you believe it? January seemed to go by so fast. I actually planted some vegetables in the garden on Sunday. I spent Saturday getting my beds ready and then we went to buy plants. I did the usual plants but this year I put in some celery plants that I saw. I have never planted celery before so I am hoping it does well.
I know for those who are up north, you can't think about planting but here in the south, it is time. The citrus trees are all blooming and have baby fruit on them. Spring is in the air down here.
I hope you have a great week ahead.
