Easter!! Yup, it's Easter time and I'm pretty excited about one specific aspect of it, but before I get into that I should probably share a little about this blog. Big news: I'm dabbling into the blogging world full-speed with complete hesitance. I'm not sure how this is going to go and honestly don't know what to expect of it, so for the few (if any) followers, please don't expect much :) Hopefully this blog is going to be a conglomeration of the trials and tribulations (okay, so maybe not quite that dramatic!), joys and day to day happenings of our lives – probably mainly only mine! I also feel it's important to note that I will not be proof-reading these posts, because that's just how I am, so hopefully they make sense. If not, it's up to you to interpret! Anyhow, enough of me trying to justify this blog, on to the post...
So the object of my affection right now is my wreath! That's right. I made an Easter wreath. Full of purply goodness with hints of green and white to balance it out perfectly. Yup. It's perfect. Now obviously our Savior's death and resurrection is THE MOST important part of Easter; we wouldn't even have Easter if it wasn't for Him! Not to belittle any of that by this post, but I am just super duper excited about my wreath. Two things made me decide to make it:
1. Our near and dear (that's my affectionate term for them lately) friends Rachel and Jeremy had a LOVELY holiday wreath that Rachel made hanging up in their apartment during the Christmas season. I was in love with it and was in aw at the simplicity of it. I had often thought about making one, but had hesitations until I saw hers. It was beautiful!
2. Our neighbors (who consequently happen to be our friend's parents!) have a wreath hanging on their front door that I am in love with. I am not sure if Jo made it, had someone make it for her or bought it. Regardless, it's fabulous and I wanted one. Have to keep up with the Joneses, right?
I feel like it's important to note that the viney wreath was purchased for $3 at Wal-Mart and the flowers were $9 at Dollar Tree. So simple :)
Enjoy my beloved new prized possession and I hope you feel a little inspired as well!
