  13. The colors in your new wreath match the color of your door beautifully! The pine cones and satin ribbon are so pretty together.

    Good luck this weekend! My decorations are down and I will be cleaning also:)

    I'm looking forward to lighting a fire in the fireplace and snuggling up with some hot chocolate when I'm done.

    No surprise- another big snow expected Friday:) Then -40 wind chills by Tuesday. Yikes!

  76. Kelli,

    I love the wreath! I am a big fan of wreaths; however, I've never made one of my own. I actually have a wreath like the one you've made, but without the pinecones and ribbon. I might have to be a copycat! :)

    ReplyDelete
  77. That looks lovely - what a great idea to glue the pinecones on!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Oh Kellie I love this! I am going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow for the first time...I am so excited. Since I live in such a small town I don't have access to places like that. I might have to pick a wreath up like this and try it. Lexi even says that is a pretty wreath to and wants one on her door. She is only 4 so guess she is getting into decor now. lol

    ReplyDelete
  79. Kelli,

    How lovely that wreath is! I love the wonderful bow; the color is perfect! You are very inspiring.

    And, no, you are not the only one with decor still up. Most of mine is down but will finish the rest in the next day or so. Have a blessed weekend. :)

  80. Is imitation really the sincerest form of flattery? Because I want one just like it! So cute.

    That's lovely, Kelli.

    I just found some floral stems I had been looking at last year, but thought were too expensive, on sale half price at Hobby Lobby this week -- I was so delighted! I didn't get them put together like I wanted to in a door decoration for today's S&T, but I wondered if they were too springy. I haven't decided whether to go ahead with them now as is to "think spring," or whether to go with something more wintry.

  85. Such a beautiful wreath!! I love the colours...I always have tons of pinecones that fall off our trees in the backyard and now I know what to do with some of them:-) Hope you're having a wonderful weekend my friend...even if it is taking down Christmas decorations. lol xoxo

    God bless.

  88. The wreath is sweet. I wanted you to know that I found some incredible acorns at a local retailer and immediately thought of you. They wouldn't have survived the shipping process (or prices) or else I would have snapped them up to send to you.

    Hope you were able to get the much needed deep clean done.
