We interrupt our regularly scheduled “peaceful Christmas thoughts” for a bit of last minute frenzy. Yesterday evening was our dinner party, and I had to put all of that Christmas peace on pause to get the food ready and dishes arranged. Once our friends arrived, I could go back to relaxing with fork and wine in hand. However, I just wouldn’t get very far without that adrenaline rush before people arrive.
It’s in that hyped-up, manic state that I start taking on extra projects. Maybe you do this to? Like this Christmas wreath. I knew I needed to take down the fall wreath that was still on the door, but I didn’t have anything to put there instead.
I did have an extra wreath form and a roll of green ribbon, so I decided to try making a quick wreath. I wasn’t completely sure that it was going to turn out, so I didn’t even use glue. I just held the ribbon in place and wrapped it around the form. Once I made a full loop, I decided that the wreath had potential and rummaged through a drawer with my free hand to find a few straight pins. It clearly needed something else, so I found a gold pine cone ornament and hung it from the top with fishing line. I cut another piece of ribbon to fasten a little bow to hang it from the door. Total time elapsed: 10 minutes.
I’ll admit – sometimes that frenzy is good. However, I’m not going to argue with going back to some relaxation time now. The couch is calling…
Hope you’re enjoying your week – whatever it brings.

Care to comment? Go for it. Be bold. Do it! But niceness counts, right?
That is super cute and sooo creative!! It looks very elegant!
I noticed that wreath when we came over and I thought it was from Pottery Barn! You are so creative!
Looks nice, but how about a purple wreath? Isn’t that more “you”? I have one for you right here in the office.
That is a huge compliment – thank you so much!
