"H" marks the spot!

So I discovered why I enjoy creating and blogging to the extent that I do: it both relaxes me and allows me to focus on making our home our haven. The past few days have been crazy, busy...end of the year activities and milestones for all of the kiddos. Yet, while I was at Hobby Lobby looking or ribbon for me oldest daughter's graduation ceremony, I took the time to find some accessories/crafts for the house. So, when I have needed so me relaxtion/down time the past couple of days, I have focused on lovelies (at least in our eyes) for our home.

I used three purchases at Hobby Lobby to complete two "H" projects. First I added the finishing touch to our little front door wreath. Orginally this wreath consisted of a basic grapevine wreath (found in my garage), a tiny sparkly green wreath that I had bought for St. Patty's Day years ago, and a few fake flowers I had in my garage, too. I orginally bought the "H" monogram to hang on a hook, but that didn't work out. Instead, I added it to the center of the wreath. And I LOVE it. Here it is:

My other two purchases were a thin wooden letter "h" for $1.99 and some soft, beautiful, green yarn. Using a bit of hot glue, I wrapped the( H in the soft green yarn. By the way, this looks so much easier in opictures;). I finished the monogram b adding some twine (that I had at home) around the middle and then gluing two homemade rosebuds on top (when I was learning to make these I made ALOT, so I have extra laying around! This cutie is now sitting our mantle next to our wedding picture and my son's homemade spring school projects.

Coming up: pics from my son's preschool graduation (AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!) and from his small Stars Wars celebration we had at dinner. It was a good day, my friends!!
