Valentine's Wreath!

If you know me, you know I am the antithesis of crafy.  In fact, I am all about outsourcing all things crafty!  But I'm a Mom now, and so to some extent I feel like I need to make some measurable increases to my craftiness quotient.  As such, one of my New Year's Resolutions was to do ONE thing crafty!  ie make something I would typically buy!

M and I are in the process of purchasing a house and in driving around this urban yet Stepford neighborhood, I couldn't help but notice that most ALL of the houses have a Valentine's Wreath hanging from their door (this is  in addition to the 2.5 Addorandeck chairs and blue swings gracing the front yards).  So of course a Valentines's Wreath shot to the top of my want list and provided me the perfect opportunity to knock out this resolution.

Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the fruits of my 6 trips to Michael's/JoAnns/Hobby Lobby/High Fashion Home + many, many hours of labor.  $50+ later, I can honestly tell you that I probably wouldn't have paid $25 for this in a store.  I may be the only person on earth for whom DIY actually costs more than store bought.  Special thanks to my husband who cut out at least 275 burlap circles...
