I love the spring time....one of my children was born in the spring and especially growing up and living in the Midwest, springtime was a wonderful time after the harshness of winter. Now living here in Florida, I really love springtime because (along with Fall) it is some of the best weather that we have down here...perfect tempertures and low humidity....what more can you ask for? To celebrate the arrival of spring this year I made this wreath. The colors of spring really inspire me...I love the pastels of new flowers and new growth and the freshness in the air. I received this grapevine wreath and a couple of others from my local freecycle...it was destined for the landfill before I rescued it. It had some ugly old flowers and ribbon on it. I removed those and added a new roll of sheer green polka dot ribbon from Michael's which along with the flowers is the only thing I purchased on this whole project. The flowers were in a large ziploc bag that I got at my local resale shop for $1. The chipboard birdies were from my friend April and the materials for the "SPRING" pennant were just scraps and brads from my stash. Total cost for this project was under $3. I am currently collecting materials for a beachy one for the summer. Challenges entered: Wee Memories and Paper Issues and Moxie Fab World Home Decor Challenge
