*slump* You can't be serious...
The other day, I made this awesome wreath for my room. I wanted to go with a base of black, and theme it in gold and silver. I got my tree, but my wreath was as empty as my tree, so I had to get stuff to decorate it. When I finished and went to put it on my door--it looks so cool--mom decided that we needed one on every door down the hallway. So the other day we went shopping for the necessary materials, after planning on themes for each door. I spent several hours the other day putting them together. Then mom got the brilliant idea--I'll be making them as GIFTS this year for about 10 people in the family! and one friend has requested one that I'm willing to do, since his desired theme, i actually saw ornaments I could use for his. What is this insane thing that mom got me into?

Upcoming projects:
Pop and Gran Janis - "Golf": golf tees, golf balls, laptops, trowls [she does court reports, he does brick work]
Grandmom - "Victorian Tea": birds, butterflies, tea cups, tea plates
Dad - "John Deere": tractor onaments, trowel [mason]
Uncle Buddy - "Golf": golf tees, golf balls, trowel, airplane [mason, works at airport]
Aunt Julie - "Wine": wreath made from grape vines, corks, cork screws, mini bottles, jewelry [sells jewelry]
Amber [cousin] - "Princess": bright green wreath, crown, cellphone, laptop, volleyball
Ryan & Krista [cousin & girlfriend] - "Golf & ____": complete theme for this is still being worked on, mom and I don't know much about Krista.
Joe - "Fire Department": red and gold, fire department ornaments
It takes, or at least my first one, a couple hours to make one each. I spent half the day working on the last three pictured wreaths. Setting them out is what takes the most time. Once that's figured out, it's just pulling everything back out, covering the stems and branches in hot glue before sticking them back in to seal in place.
