The Cure For The Post Christmas Blues

Have you ever noticed how bare everything looks after you take down all the Christmas decor? 
 
I notice it every year, especially at work since there's so much holiday decor, than one day it's all gone and the world seems a little depressing. 
  
 One of my best friends, Brandy Jeanne, has the coolest Dad-io in the world. 

(sorry about the cell phone pic, but it's the only proof we have that he rocked the pink apron)

He's all about the Christmas decor and their house is always decked out to the max, with multiple trees in the house and everything. 

But...
 

... after Christmas is over, and the holiday decorations have been packed up and put away in the attic, he goes through a post Christmas depression. 

 Since he's a big fan of my crafty endeavors, I thought to get him out of his post Christmas funk I'd make him a pretty winter wreath to hang on their front door. 




It's the least I can do since he donates all of his nice wooden cigar boxes to my craft stash. 

Thanks, Ken!

  3. I LOVE this! I completely forgot to check it out because this week has given new meaning to CRAZZZZYYYYY, but I'm seriously loving this and totally jealous... I want some of those snowflakes! (And I totally want some like that so I can somehow put them on fishing line or something and hang over a door... that was what I wanted to do with my foam ones, but they're way too big and the boyfriend is just too tall and so it would be terrible for him... but I really want to do that to a door way for a party or something and thought I'd share this thought with you because you appreciate my randomness, haha!) Seriously, I LOVE this!

  5. Holy smokes!! This is THE prettiest snowflake wreath I've ever seen! I've been wanting to make one with tulle, but it wasn't gonna look anything like this!

    PS...your friend's daddy is such a cutie in his pink apron!

  8. So totally awesome! I go through a couple days of being down after all of the Christmas stuff is put away. My son does too and even begged us to leave it up until after he went back to college so our Christmas stuff didn't come down until last week! LOVE your wreath.

I love comments! Especially nice ones from Awesome, Beautiful People. I pretend that mean comments come from toads.
