the things "pinterest" gets me into...

pinterest makes me want to do all kinds of crafty things, like spend 3 hours making a wreath with flowers.  i am thinking of doing a different one in some brighter spring colors.  our flower beds are more white/purple/pink/green...but this was the colors on the example wreath i had, and it was like i couldn't think outside of them.  i get stuck like that.  but i was pleased b/c my little craft endeavor would have cost under $15 dollars except i had to buy some more hot glue sticks.

 a grease splatter screen is great for tracing circles.  i knew that would be dual purpose some day! :)  the spiral is the start of the flower.  
 i had pearl pins left over from wedding stuff, so i used them as centers for the flower.  by the way, that wasn't even in the example.  i like to claim good thinking occasionally. :)
 several hours later here's what i had!  
and this morning i climbed up in the attic and found my wreath hook.  
 
the end.
