Made IT !



I made it to Hobby Lobby for some seasonal cheer items. I purchased the wreath, bow, butterflies, and berries for a little Seasonal Greeting on our front door.

Some other items were dropped off at our doorstep by delivery services. I am a bit surprised with our first Poinsettia before Thanksgiving ... but... WTF I set it on the kitchen table were it will get plenty of sunshine. You'll be surprised by my next blog but will post it tomorrow.

Great looking holiday wreath, Bret. The trip to the hobby lobby was worthwhile.

Christmas deliveries already. Man, it is obvious you hold a special place in a lot of people's hearts. Poinsettias will last a long time, and can even be nurtured through another year to produce the colorful foliage again.

It got to 27F here today under a clear sky, gentle NW breeze. Tomorrow should be slightly warmer, and the warming trend continues for at least a week. I went to the city this morning to get a few grocs, Was back home by 10:48, finished off the fastening of the support beam to my garage ceiling, then made lunch. It was a busy day.

You may purchase the plain wreath then decorate it with items of your choice.

Roger I have never had much luck with Poinsettias. They are one of my favorites but getting sent to me is a death sentence for them.

Nice weather for T-day <Max will not have to worry flying out on Wednesday ... temps in the 40's no precipitation./

Love the wreath, good job. I don't have much luck with Poinsettias either. I buy them every year because they are so beautiful.

Our Poinsettias are just beginning to show buds. It sets on a table next to the window with other plants.

I wanted my own touch on the wreath... not the stamped out Walmart look.

We generally get several during the holiday season. I generally give hams to those business clients where a seasonal gift is due.

I just want to escape the "cookie cutter" wreaths from Walmart.
