for some ridiculous addictive reason, i love having the door wreath match the season - maybe it's just an excuse to make a craft for the day, but this poor wreath has seen every season, every color of ribbon, and has been burned with more hot glue than any item should be! but then again, maybe that would make the wreath the fashionista wreath of all wreaths - the one who gets the new look, the new colors, the new hairstyle, the new wardrobe, just like we'd all like to have each season. so be it!
my four year olds have been saying that they don't want to go back to school, and as a former teacher and a child who just loved loved loved school from kindergarten on, (i truly did!) it made me cringe to hear these dreadful words, already, at age 4. so we've been trying to get in the school frame of mind around here -- so, yep, enter the wreath!
again, using all craft supplies that i already have -- a box of crayons, various ribbon, a hot glue gun, and a paintable minature house ornament that i bought at a post-Christmas sale -- i didn't spend a dime, or at least not any additional dimes that i had already spent, just a bit of glue and time and excitement for my preschoolers! if they should repeat again that they don't want to go back to school, you can find us on our front porch staring at this wreath until the excitement overcomes them!

here's to a great school year for all of your little ones! ...and to those big kids too!
Very cute idea Jen! I'm sure the girls love it! I put up my Fall wreath last week (basically, once it hit September). I think it's working, because the weather actually started cooling down slightly after I put it up!
ReplyDeletelove that, so cute! we are just about to start our big halloween wreath project over here. we are spray painting green christmas wreaths(bought for 90% off at joanne's last year!) black and decorating them w/ rummage sale finds.
ReplyDeleteOkay, this one I can swing!! Would be a fun thing to do with my son this weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!! I wasn't kidding when I said we need to come over for Craft Day. How's next week? ;-)
ReplyDeletei want a do-over. please come be my mom and show me how to celebrate. i love no caps when writing too, but was too afraid to blog this way. i am so excited to have found you. am burning already lame wannabe rachael ray meatloaf so that i can comment. see you soon. it is our boys first real halloween and i don't even know where to begin. i think i will just kill time on computer avoiding what makes me feel inadequate....some more.
ReplyDeleteSooooooo cute!! I love having my wreaths match the seasons, as well. Although, the one I have handing from Feb. thru August is just a plain brown wreath. I should splash it up with something! Thanks for the great idea! So crafty!
ReplyDeleteI, too, LOVE to have a different wreath for each season - I rotate about every couple months. I'm not very crafty - but I think I might be able to handle this. Thanks for the inspiration!
