ushering in spring

If you've been to our house the last couple of months, you probably saw our Winter Wreaths.

It was quite the crafting adventure for me and the Little Wickies.

The girls collected pine cones at the park and then I went out and purchased my very first glue gun. I then diligently glued all the pine cones to the wreath.

The next morning I picked it up, and all the blasted pine cones fell off.

I resorted to tying the pine cones down with twine. Then we sprayed it with mass amounts of glue and had at it with glitter and beads.

This week we "Spring-ized" the wreaths by painting the pine cones.


Our wreaths are like the ghetto version of Dana's beautiful acorn wreaths that she painted and then repainted.

They are sweet and even better, filled with memories. Martha likes pine cone wreathes too. I saw them in a magazine and wanted to make one, maybe next fall.
