Decking the Halls!

 Sorry, it took me so long to get this posted to share with you today!! I love this wreath and it’s funny when writing a blog, you want to share with everyone something special that you made, but some of your most beautiful creations don’t always translate as beautiful in a picture as they are in person.  So please bear with me, as I have tried to include different angles of this wreath, that I am so enjoying, as to share with you how Beautiful it actually turned out. 

This is My Shoestring Elegant Christmas Wreath!!! If you are out looking to make a wreath of your own, Michael’s has had some pretty incredible savings lately, with 50% off their stems, ribbons and Christmas decorations.  And if you are lucky enough to get a tip like I did, there are a great many coupons on-line and in the paper, (for Michael’s and JoAnne’s (Michael’s will take their coupons too) for an additional 40-50% off. 
This time I luckily Including  a real treat of a coupon for another 30% your entire bill…So here’s the breakdown: the stems, ribbons, wreath and pine-cones all together cost me a grand total of $16 and some cents!
I am absolutely over the moon for this wreath! I hope you enjoy it, too.  A little time, spent working to Christmas music and making bows and Voila! 
I’m decking the Halls with a fun Wreath to start!!  As always, Many Blessings to you all !!

    That wreath is so elegant looking! I love all the little details. As far as Michael's goes, where I live (Canada), you can't combine coupons if something is already on sale. Actually, that is pretty much the policy with all the stores in Canada. If I lived in the U.S., man, I could make a killing with coupons, whoo! hoo!

      Sue, Thanks so much for your wonderfully kind words! ...and I'm sorry about the Canadian coupon policy, I am very aware of it! Mt family is from and many still live in Moncton, NB, and they get as annoyed as you, and love it when they visit to see and get all the deals. But then again, we don't have the caliber of quality garage sales that you have!! LOL..
      Many thanks and Blessings,
