It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Hi there!! Well, the last time I posted I was getting ready for Halloween and now it's a month later and Christmas is just a little over a month away!!! Time sure does fly by fast, especially when I have over 50 wreaths and centerpieces to create!! These days there's not much time for papercrafting .... I've been busy with my wreath making.

Here's  few samples of what I made for custom orders .....


 
I love burlap ... and this one has lots of it! The pinecone printed ribbon with a little glitter was just right for this wreath that can be left up all winter. I made six of these this year!
 
 

 
The golds and browns of this decomesh wreath look so much better in real life! a few pumpkins and fall flowers finish this wreath off.
 
 

 
This was custom order .. love the golds and ivory of this centerpiece. You can also see some of my fav pinecone burlap ribbon peeking throughout this project!
 
 

 
Just one of the dozen or more fall swags I made this year! They were a big hit!
 
 

 
I made this wreath for my SIL this past September. I love the traditional theme of it ... and she did too!
 
 

 
I only made one grapevine fall wreath... found some inspiration on Pinterest for this one.
 
 

 
This was giant wreath! Lots of glittery ornaments, flex tubing , decomesh and a vintage looking metal sign! It sold very quickly!
 
 
 
 
 
My dad helped make these candy cane wreath forms with coathangers!! They were a fun alternative to traditional shape wreaths and I loved making them! Maybe I'll actually make one for myself next year!
 
This fall I designed and made nearly 100 wreaths ,swags and centerpieces! I was super busy all fall, and I only just barely made my own Christmas door swag at the very last minute!
 
My craft room is covered in glitter, ornaments and lots and lots of rolls of decomesh!!! I can't wait to have some me time so I can work on my Xmas cards and maybe even a scrappage or two!!
 
 
Thanks for stopping by my blog today.... have a wonderful creative day!!
