Summer is Expensive!!

June 23, 2011
 
I spend way too much money during the summer!  I can't help it, I find good sales and cheap things for our house.  Today's project was a new wreath for the front door.  Our old wreath was faded and I wanted a change.  I couldn't find anything I loved, so I decided to make one.  I headed to Michael's and scored a great deal on the supplies.  The grapevine was only $2.99 and the 4 stems of flowers I used were only $2.99 each!  So, I only spent about $15!!  I would never have found a wreath for that amount already made! 

There was no method to my madness....I just wrapped the flowers and moved them around a bit.  The only thing I don't like is that we have a storm door and it smashes against the wreath.  But, I love having the front door open to let light it, so it is worth it.  Here is a finished picture of my wreath.

And, for the exciting news.....I will have my very first guest blogger soon!  I realize I haven't posted much yet myself, but I am excited to have a "guest"!  Be sure to check back for his post!
