The last day of school was Friday, so I took it upon myself to really take it easy yesterday. I took a shower at some point yesterday morning, but I never dried my hair or put on makeup. I love days like that. I finally ventured out right before the massive downpour to finish up the last of my Christmas shopping. One of my stops was Hobby Lobby, so I picked up a styrofoam floral wreath and some yarn. Last year I had a hard time finding a wreath that I really liked for the winter months after Christmas. I finally found a wreath that I liked, but it's more of a springtime wreath. I decided that I would just make my own wreath this year.
This morning, after my shower, I decided to finally be productive. But I wasn't in the mood to start cleaning my house or getting anything on my list done, so I made my wreath instead. The yarn is light blue and white. I bought the 'A' at Hobby Lobby and painted it white. Total time for the wreath was probably 2 or 2 1/2 hours. I finally have a wreath I love for January! This wreath also cost me maybe $20 total, but probably a little less. All I needed was the styrofoam wreath, hot glue gun, yarn, wooden letter, and some paint!

Since this wreath was so easy, I decided to go ahead and make one for February too! I got this styrofoam wreath, wooden hearts, and yarn from Michael's since I needed to go to Target and it was next door. I made this wreath the same way, and painted these hearts. This also cost me probably less than $20 to make.

I made both of these wreaths and managed to cross everything off my list for today! Maybe one of these days I'll actually take a break when I'm on break from school, just not yet!
