Sorry I've been gone lately. I have been super busy.
The things I have been busy with involve lots of paint... lots of it... gallons seriously.
Soooo posts for the next few weeks may not be super regular.
I promise that I will make it up to you.
But for now here is a quickie to get us excited.
It's getting to be that time!
When my house gets transformed into a winter wonderland.
I LOVE Christmas decorating.
I really wish it could stay up longer then a month.
I thought that a cute simple wreath to show off my aqua front door was in order.
Tada!
Saw one on pinterest and had to make one for me.
Supplies:
Embroidery hoop
White felt
Wide ribbon
Hot glue & glue gun
Snowflakes (mine came from wal-mart)
Cost? Less then $5
Directions:
• Cut your felt into 1 inch strips and hot glue them around the embroidery hoop.
• Glue on the wide ribbon covering up the hoop clasp.
• Arrange your snowflakes so you know spacing, then glue them in place.
• Go and paint your front door aqua... What? A little much for you? *wink*
I know I know. It really is too cold to paint front doors right now.
But I know that you would secretly love to :-)
All of my love,
The Girl with the Aqua Front Door

What a simple and not "Christmasy" wreath, just what I need for a Hanukkah home. Thank you for the great idea. and I love the name of your blog. I have 2 boys that keep me on my toes.
Wow!!! I love this wreath and it is perfect for a winter theme in a Jewish household. Thank you for sharing!!!! I also love your blog and glad I found it. I have 2 boys that are always keeping me on my toes.
Lovely wreath. No reason why you couldn't leave that up all winter since it's not particularly a Christmas wreath but rather a winter wreath.
Made this tonight! Found it on Knock OfF Decor
The aqua door brought me to your page, but the wreath is perfect too. Love simplicity.
I love this wreath. I only make crafts for my friends and family. I do not put a price on my crafts cause they are made out of love and is a gift God gave me to do crafts. thanks
