I made a trip to Michael's today with the kids to pick up some supplies for printing and cutting calendars and stationary for holiday gifts, thanks to the brilliance of Little Brown Pen. I've always liked the grapevine wreaths at Michael's, so I picked one up today, along with some cranberry garland and a chickadee. When I got home, I cut a few stems from our holly tree to add a little greenery. I have some pine cones on our back porch I thought I might use, but once I got the garland, the stems, and the bird on, I decided it looked complete. With what little time I have this holiday season, this works for me, and I like the simple design. A woman I ran into at Michael's was going to put Christmas bulbs all over hers, an idea she got from Good Housekeeping, but I prefer a natural wreath that looks festive on its own (although I admit it's unlikely a chickadee would choose to perch on our wreath).
