WREATH ADDICTION.....

                                         I'm beginning to think I have a *wreath addiction*!
                                                           I can't help myself.

                 Since putting the red berry one on my hutch, now it seems so bare without. 

                            Yesterday I found myself at Michael's searching for just the one I wanted.  It was twenty one dollars (I know, can you believe that?) but, I had my trusty 40% off coupon in hand..... and, I wanted the darn thing. 
                                            I've been messing with it ever since.

            You'd think it would take just a little time to embellish...no no no...this wreath wouldn't come together as easily as I thought it should.  Just kept working until I was happy.

                                                          So...here's the end result. 

                                                                          Before!


AFTER.......








The bird originally was lavender, that certainly wouldn't work...out came the paint brushes and paint and I went to work.   MUCH BETTER.  

Then I scoured the house for more "things" to add....the little berries (I think I have a berry addiction too) seem just perfect.  

Lastly, the nest...how adorable is it?  


I'm not sure the pictures do it all justice...seems better in person.

Still worthy to share!

Have a fantastic weekend all my lovely friends!
