My Christmas/Valentine Wreath

Here is another Pinterest inspired wreath. I switched out "Joy" for "Love" to make it a little more Valentine-y. :)

All materials, except for the stars were bought at Hobby Lobby. The stars came from Target (I think). I alternated red and white tulle and knotted each bunch. There is no need to glue it if your knots hold everything in place. I did glue the stars though. The pom pom bunches I poked into the foam base of the wreath.

Spring Wreath

I got the idea for this wreath on Pinterest. If you do a keyword search for "wreath" you will find an endless parade of ideas!

I bought all the material for this wreath at JoAnn's. You just wrap the yarn and secure it at each color change. Then I hot glued the flower and feathers on. Easy-peasy.

Halloween "wreath"

This is the "wreath" I made for my door for Halloween. I originally found the idea on Pinterest, my new favorite website! The blog with the original idea is Made. This idea can be used for all kinds of things. The author of the blog even made a giant one for her wall. I think next year I will make one in between the columns on my porch. It was very easy and actually quite fun! You could also use all kinds of different colors and styles of yarn and frames. I see an obsession coming on!! :)

A vacation from my vacation...

We had a truly wonderful vacation. Really. But I have never been so tired!! You need to be a professional athelete to handle all the walking (and sweating) that goes on at Disney World! My DS had the advantage of riding in a stroller. I can't lie. After a couple of days I thought about giving that thing the weight limit test of it's life!! :)

Here are a few pictures from the trip. We also spent two days in Cocoa Beach so that my DS could see the ocean for the first time. As soon as I take out a loan for all the pictures I need to print I will start scrapbooking and posting the results here. :)

To the happiest place on earth...

So, in one day we will be on a plane flying to Florida for our first real vacation in 11 years. It will be Colson's first real vacation ever! :) We are going to spend two days at Coco beach and seven days in Disneyland. We are SO excited!! I can't even begin to imagine how many pictures I will be taking...(and posting!)

We are a little nervous for Colson to fly. He has some sensory issues with his ears and I am concerned that the popping may be painful for him. I'm am praying it won't be and he'll barely even notice it happening. We are taking suckers and a sippy cup to help with it though. I am just hoping that it doesn't hurt him. I don't think he fully grasps the concept of us flying and then being somewhere other than home. Especially for an extended time. It should all be very intertesting, but I hope tremendously fun. :)

Please pray with me that we will have a safe and wonderful time. Be prepared for lots of photos next post(s). :)

God bless!
