Fall Wreath=attempt at craftiness

I'm not a crafty person, I'm just not.  I've gone through several phases where I'll see cool DIY projects and think, "Yes!  I have to try this right now, this is what I've been waiting for."  I'll rush off to Wal-Mart/Michaels/JoAnn Fabrics or whatever, buy my stuff, and get to work.  Somehow, I always end up with a product looking a little ridiculous...kinda like we trained a Rhesus monkey named Charlie to use a hot glue gun.  My right brain is a little slow.

However, after I saw my good friend Kara (who oozes with craftiness, and is good at it) post about a wreath that she just "threw together," I've been wanting to try to make a seasonal wreath.  I tried to talk myself out of it, I really did, but I took myself down to Michaels and stood directionless and lost in front of the fall-colored leaves, glittered flowers, and tiny pumpkins.  Sigh.

I must have looked as lost as I felt because a store designer named Tom came to my rescue.  He gave me the run-down on how I would even attempt a project like that (he assured me it was super easy...of course it is, for a designer), showed me where the hot glue guns were, (sort of) approved of my color combination, and off I went.

Oh, need I also mention that I must have a virus of domesticality today, because while I was fighting with my wreath, I was subsequently trying to make yeast cinnamon raisin bread....from scratch.  More on that later.

What I ended up with doesn't look half bad, don't you think?  I'll proudly display it on my door, and save it to use next year.  And OMG, the Christmas section!  I'm making a holiday wreath (probably next weekend...you see what happens when I get a "crafty" bug?)  I'll share that disaster with you too.

Craft on my friends, craft on,
Amy
