MY SUMMER WREATH!

Well, you may or may not know I've been away from my blog for some time now. I've been taking a much needed break while finishing up other projects, not all crafts, here at home. I won't be back on for a few weeks after this because I'll be traveling out of town. I just wanted to show you all how my summer wreath turned out! I've now completed all of the wreaths I need to carry me through an entire year! Yippee! One project scratched off my list of things to do! It's been hanging on my door since the beginning of summer so I didn't want you thinking I just finished it. Let me know what you think of it. As always, a big thanks for stopping by my by! Hope You're Having A Wonderful Summer!

                                             My SUMMER Wreath!

                                             My SPRING Wreath!

                                                       My WINTER Wreath!
I added a sheet of black paper behind it just so you can see the word HOPE that hangs from it a bit better.

                                                       My FALL Wreath!
Thanks for looking and I will probably load each one of the others as they get hung on my front door. They'll probably look better. I really don't think these photos do them justice. I am very happy with the way they all turned out! Even more happy that I didn't have to pay the outrageous prices they charge for wreaths in the stores! These wreaths were made, pretty much, with left-overs from other projects, extra items left over from weddings and items other crafting friends of mine gave me. I piled it all in a closet until I was ready to work on them! I personally think they charge way too much for the wreaths they sell in the stores... all stores!
See ya later!

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO!

I'm back again and here to show you what I've been up to while I've been gone! Hope you enjoy a glimpse into the other areas of MY craft world! Thanks for stopping by and hope you come again soon!

 I have had a goal of making myself a wreath for each season. This is the wreath I made for Spring. I know it looks kind of cock-eyed the way it's hanging, but it just not on the over-door-hook right and I shot it on an angle.

 This is the wreath I made for fall and I wanted to add some more raffia / straw to it but... my friend told me to leave it alone! LOL!

 This is the one I made for Winter. The HOPE is actually strung on soft wire I beaded with gold beads and it is attached to the wreath.

 Just black paper behind it.

 I am not a photographer and I'm really beating myself up about it! I'm not satisfied with ANY of my photography and I really want to go to school to take classes but... Finances won't allow it right now.

 I hope you can get a good idea about how all of my items look. The photos, in my opinion, just don't do ANY OF IT justice! I just really hate my lack photography skills!!!

I've tried it all and none of my props or shots are good. Sorry. Thanks again for stopping! Come On Back Now Ya Hear?!
