The best wreaths around town

Now that Christmas is behind us, not to mention our trip up north to see my family, I am able to get some pictures of some of our Christmas gifts posted. This was a pretty fun project (just as all gift giving should be). We decided to send all the family members home with a Christmas Day centerpiece. Clinton's extended family comes over from the mountains so we can all celebrate together around December 18th-ish each year. It was quite humbling to have so much excitement toward our gifts for them. Everyone seemed really overjoyed to take them home.










Thanks to the farmer's market-where I
found the greens to assemble the centerpieces- I was amazed to discover how much we had left over. Clinton's mom and I had some extra fun assembling wreaths. We made 1 for the neighbor, one for Clinton's sister, and 1 for us.


The burgundy bowed wreath was for my sis-in-law while the bright red one hung on our front door. I must say, it brightened the whole neighborhood!
Don't worry, it looked much better hanging from the front door than in our hallway!!! That definately says something important about the placement of an item.
