What to do
Tis the season for holiday shopping. I thought it was time to update my wreath on my door, so off to the mall I went. After the 4th store I went into and saw the really expensive door wreath I decided a) I can make this myself and b) I can do this for way less than the ones I saw at the store. Plus lets be real I love a fun DIY project, this took me a few hours and I loved the way it turned out so much I made two.
