Craft time! Floral wreath

I have been a bit more adventurous lately by trying some crafts! I had plenty of practice in the sorority, and now I have a huge house to decorate! We did put some pictures on the walls a few weeks ago, but I thought it was time to make a door wreath. 

Supplies needed:
Foam ring
burlap 
scissors 
artificial flowers or desired decorations
pearls
Low temp hot glue gun and glue sticks (I used about 1 1/2 sticks)
Over the door hanger
Rope for hanging 



 Glue and wrap the burlap all around the foam ring! Make as tight or loose as you wish. Glue again at the end.
  

 Separate the artificial flowers and place them around the ring to plan out the design. Once you reach the desired placement start sing the hot glue gun to attach them! I placed pearls in the center of the smaller flowers!

  I tied some rope around the top to use to hang from the door, but you can use burlap, twine, yard, etc. Make sure to measure and not block the peephole on the door!


 ALL FINISHED! Not bad for my first time! I actually may add some lettering to it later. Maybe "Henson", "H", "Love", "Welcome", "Home" or anything else I can think of.

One year down, but a lifetime to go!

Our first year of being husband and wife has gone by so fast! We celebrated by having cupcakes (since the top of cake is no longer with us), going out to a very nice dinner at the Red Geranium, drinking a bottle of Dom, spending quality time together and talking about all of our blessings! We're so grateful to truly be soul mates!

We took our own photos when it was beginning to storm outside. We just propped a tripod up on Jeds truck! It looks like rain on our wedding day is a tradition so far! 



We even ended up using one of the same photos for our paper gifts! 


Dinner was amazing, but cell phone usage was highly  discouraged, but I promise our food was beautiful and yummy! This place is definitely on our list of places to go again!

One year later and we're still in love and looking forward to our many years together!
