so many wreaths!!

Christmas is coming so fast!!! (as it does every year!) So ive started thinking about what kind of Christmas wreath i wanted to me. After doing some research on ideas, i found about one too many!! So i had to share with anyone who also is looking to make a wreath. i love big, gold, and natural elements...and even tho i found all of those...i didnt find them combined! Thus, reason for making my own!!!

ill call these the Misc. of the wreaths.



Cute cookie cuter wreath. it'd be cute in a kitchen



tied clothe: you can make these for ANYTHING!



tulle: ive been starting to see these quite abit


cute gift box wreath



Who Says a wreath has to be round??!!



this kind of speaks for itself...a candy cane wreath



this is a cute one.



ive been seeing more and more of these square wreaths...but personally, i like for mine to be round!



Natural/Fresh Wreaths



these are my favorite kinds. natural colors, shapes and elements.



i like the mixture of leaves in this one..but it needs a little something more.



love the colors and textures of this one!



this one also needs a little more...but its a nice base for something beautiful!



Yarn Wreaths



i have been seeing these everywhere!! They re not what i would want for a Christmas wreath, but they re still cute and might give some inspiration!




love the little yarn flowers.



Red ribbon and loving the gold!!



cute little felt flowers



Ornament Wreaths



when It comes to DYI Christmas wreaths...the ornament wreath will never fail!! you can make it as big as you want, any color pallet you'd like..and will look cute in any room! but still...i don't feel like its my style! but i love this



Vintage ornament wreath. i would actually LOVE to have one for my kids' room



i do love how big and chunky this one is...oh yea, and its gold!



i love all the colors in this one!! its nice and big, and love the evergreen sticking out!



I hope these wreaths give you some inspiration!! i am still stuck on what kind of wreath im going to make...so the best bet...combined a little of everything!! cant wait to see how it turns out!



-Enjoy and good luck-

i am thankful for......


Well!! Its been awhile since ive posted! Now that Jaydens party is over, I feel soooo much better!! Like ive lost 50lbs! Lol. (too bad I haven’t.) So with Thanksgiving coming, its only right that I post on things I am thankful for. I am thankful for so many things from the sugar I put in my coffee to the roof that over my head. And I have to make one thing clear…the things I have listed are all BY THE GRACE OF GOD!
My family:

this had to be 1st. Im soo thankful for the Man and 2 children God has blessed me with. I can truly say I wouldn’t be the person I am today with out them. They make me feel better, want to do better, and make things better
Healthy children:

this is a given. I cant think of having either of my children suffering from any sickness..and everything I am thankful for the happy, smiling, HEALTHY kids that wake me up every morning.

My husbands job:

this is another that has to be at the top of the list. I am not only thankful for the job that the Lord has provided my husband with, but my husbands willingness to wake up day after day and working to support our family.

Shelter:

it keeps us cool in the winter and warm in the winter. My kids have a warm bed to sleep in, my husband has a shower to wash himself in and we ALL have a kitchen to gather in.

Laughter:

no matter how upset we are, we always have the ability to laugh!! Its true…laughter is the best medicine. No one makes me laugh harder than the silly things my kids say..and the silly things my husband does!

Food:

Im thankful my kids don’t have to go to school or bed hungry. That im able to make warm, filling meals for me and my family each and every night! And this goes back to my husbands job…we wouldn’t have this if it wasn’t for his hard work every day!
My Son’s school:

I am thankful God has provided for us to be able to send our son to the school he goes to. Education is important especially at his young age, and his little mind is growing day by day! He has been exposed to, and learned more than I have given him credit for and were so proud of him!!
My husband:

I can go on and on about how thankful I am for my husband! He works hard for us, respects me, loves me, doesn’t judge me, makes me laugh. I can act silly with him. I can be serious with him. And what im most thankful for….is that we want the same things for our family.
My friends:

im thankful for the new and old friends I have in my life. The ones that matter are the ones that stick around.
Our vehicles:

we have had our fair share of difficulties with our car (s) and believe me..I couldn’t imagine doing all that we do with one or even NONE cars. The lord knows exactly what we need, and has provided for us to fill that need! We never have to walk in the rain or Sweat in hot car rides.
My health:

im am thankful for this for both me and my husband.
My past:

My past has helped shape my view of life today. I know what I want, I know who I want to be, and I know what ill never do again! Even my experiences from last week have helped make me wiser. Things are not always easy, but they have made me wiser and stronger.
Sleeping kids:

I always see how truly Innocent and precious my kids are when they are sleeping. Looking so peaceful and dreaming about any and everything in world…my heart gets OVERfilled with joy, and if possible..I love them even more.
Gods Love:

it always reminds me of how I SHOULD be. Knowing that I am not alone in my marriage, my life or parenting makes it all easier even tho none of those things are, its comforting knowing that God wouldn’t give us more than we could handle…that he has a plan for all we do, and even though we struggle…each day leads to a better life.
 
 Have a happy thanksgiving!!!
