the stars were brightly shining...  Tis the season for Wreaths! We have our standard evergreen wreath hung on the front door. But I wanted to make a wreath that was more unique.

I had a string of wooden stars on a metal wire that I wrapped around the wreath. This would be totally easy to make yourself  now that I come to think of it! Get some wooden stars and some wire and there ya go.  easy peasy!  I also had some vintage stars and a Merry Christmas glitter sign that I attached to the wreath. Tie it up with some red ribbon and Bada-Bing Bada-Boom, there's your wreath! Merry Christmas to you... Linked up around the blogosphere... D

We have some traditions we are going to introduce him to and new
