my over winter, come on spring wreath

apparently winter has not gotten the message.

to me this year’s winter is like the boyfriend that you broke up with that keeps calling and hanging up.  then stalking your house. 

dear winter…it’s not me, it’s you.

or something like that.

so for this wreath i wanted it to be springy of course.  and happy and light.  bold but yet sweet.  send the message that i am officially moving on.  sort of like how reese witherspoon did after her divorice from ryan phillipe when she showed up at that awards show with a banging body and the most perfect bangs ever. 

i know…don’t say it.  it’s alot of pressure to put on a simple front door wreath.

anyway, i found these two wreaths on pinterest….my inspiration.

naturally my next stop was hobby lobby to pick up some supplies.

from my stash i also grabbed some burlap ribbon and raffia.

so to start with, i layered some fern stems to make sort of base.

then basically all i did was layer these sweet little stems that came in shades of pale pink, yellow, and green.  finally, i finished it off with a burlap bow and an sweet little birds nest.

 

i really like how it turned out…kind of {technical term here} sproingy.

so winter, as much as i will also appreciate you for your own special, unique qualities, i’m over you.

love, kelly
