Christmas!

Shelby is home with us for Christmas, which is wonderful! She spends some Christmases with her dad, so it is always special when she is home.

 Christmas Morning - her big present was a jewelry box - she loved it, calls it her "organizer."

 Her fav present from Darrell's mom - mermaid Barbie!

We had to make a Christmas Eve stop at the Urgent Care - possible strep. I would rather urgent care on Christmas Eve, than ER on Christmas Day!

Candy Cane Mesh Wreath

 

Snowflake Mesh Wreath

This wreath was requested by a friend to be "snowflake" themed. I used:

• one wreath form - I used a silver 16" one
• 3 rolls of 21" deco mesh - I used a non-metallic light blue, metallic light blue and silver (I had about 1/3 of each roll or more left over
• 3" wide wired ribbon
• wreath picks  - I picked 6 ones that fit my theme
• white pipe cleaners

The non-metallic blue went in the back...

 

And the metallic blue went in front of that. They are the same color. Not what I would usually do, but I really couldn't find a third color that went with my project, so I just went shinier. 

The silver went on next...

 

I added loops of the silver ribbon and poked in the wreath picks randomly...everything is secured with pipe cleaners. 

 

Here is the finished product:

 

Festive enough for Christmas, but you could leave up until Spring!

I hope she likes it!
