Crafts aren't my thing. Not sure why. Maybe I'm lazy. But I'm making an effort finally!
We purchased an artificial tree this year, and with it came a pre-lit wreath.
My old self would have thrown it away. (Like I said, crafts aren't my thing) It was pre-lit, yes, but ugly and barren, and I wouldn't use it as is. I decided to be adventuresome.

Here is what I found at the mad sale Michael's was having. Love the glittery stuff, although I was covered in .03689 seconds with it.
I really had no rhyme or reason, just started sticking things in. I probably should've fluffed the wreath out more before I started. No going back now, although part of me wants to!
Close up...
I also found these reindeer.They looked pretty cheesy in the store, but they seem happy on my table.
They give a nice overall effect anyway!
I am improvising w/ the jug thingThe glass bowl I got to hold the pine cones and pears promptly broke when I got home. :(

Love it! Come and decorate my house now!
Super cute! Christmas arrangments are BY far my favorite! :) I love all the little tid bits you can add in. i tend to get carried away with it!
Glad to hear i am not the only one that broke down and got a fake tree! They make them SO nice now, it's hard NOT to!
Yep - when I was putting it up (all the 10 minutes it took) I thought, Why haven't I done this earlier!? Don't think I'll ever go back!
Looks beautiful!:) Crafts are all about just poking things around with no rhyme or reason until it looks good:) At least that is how I do it too;)
Wow! I want you to make my wreath look pretty! It is so beautiful sara! I left mine plain on my door and now I think I will have to spruce it up a bit to keep up with you and stylish decor!
Love it! I think someday I will make a wreath. My mom used to make them, but she is quite crafty!
Very cute! You are very crafty! And I would NEVER describe you as being lazy!
It turned out so cute, little Miss Creative! I would never think to make my own wreath. That's the non-creativeness in me. I like the jar - very cute!
BEAUTIFUL..sara so nice! great job!
You really are in the spirit this year aren't you!! I try to be creative but I do a really horrible job at!!! Way to break out of your shell!
Love the decor. The little birdies in the wreath are so cute! How much do I love the convo you had with Bodie? Already planning where his friends will sit and including his bro!!! So cute.
It looks great Sara! I just tried to make a fall wreath a couple of months back and let me tell you--its harder than it looks. I haven't decided yet if I'll use it next year. I try to be creative but probably shouldn't. Where did you get the wreath stand? I need one of those. Also, we got a fake tree last year and I love it. But this year we got a real wreath so I can still have the yummy smell and no mess. I love it!
from the looks of your wreath, crafts are your thing! beautiful decor.
