Cross Drecorating!
What is a girl to do when it is between Winter, and Valentines day?
She does a little bit of a transition to get ahead start.
I really wanted to make a Winter wreath. Monday while at Walmart I saw everything was on clearance and thought "Oh what can I do"?
I bought these little silver wreath ornaments for 25 cents each, the green large wreath for $2.00. I already had the roses, strawberries and spray snow. So here is what I came up with.
Started with making some winter tags to add to the wreath
Jus t a few red hearts around so far.
Essentially this wreath cost me less than $5.00 to make.
So that is what a girl is to do, start decorating for Valentines day early, and add the winter theme to it.

Hi Debbie!
I live!
That wreath is so stinkin' cutsie!
I, too, stood there in the aisle at my Wal-Mart holding picks and glittery stuff and couldn't figure out what in the world I wanted to do with it all. So, I put it back--ugh.
Oh, well.
I just wasn't feelin' the inspiration. But you did!
Happy New Year! Welcome, Winter!
HUGS, me
You did a nice job with the wreath. Cute idea.
Debbie, how cute is that, I love it come over and see what I found today OH HAPPY DAY.... I've been singing all day..LOL.. I think I might be the crazy one..
Love it, so pretty! Still taking down Christmas decorations, haven't even thought of Valentines Day!

Very cute, Miss Debbie. I love the clothespins!
There you go girl! That is fantastic! I LOVE it! LOL..get it, LOVE it?? Seriously this is wonderful and I really do love the strawberries sooo much! They are too cute! Great combinnation with the roses and the messages.
Already sneaking in the hearts, are you? Great idea!
I still have my fresh green wreath up with white and silver accents. Packing up the trees tonight. I waited till after my aunt's birthday lunch. ~ Sarah
I see you are crafting again! Cute wreath with the cute tags.
Love your wreath,I see all this Christmas stuff for sale.I don't like buying for the following year.Storage space and all that.Making this would be fun. Drop by and visit wth me if you like-I would like.
I got that same wreath at Walmart... put it away for next year. Silly me! I love 'winter' decorations and too try to 'fill in' the gap between Christmas and Valentines. Snowmen seem to be popular in my house. But wreaths so interest me. Your turning our fabulous, Debbie!!!
What a great idea Debbie. That is very cute and thrifty too!
Really cute idea, Debbie. I know-it is kind of a transitional period, isn't it? All the glitter and glitz put away and kind of a snow theme...I keep a couple of snowmen out and used to have some wicked white winter wreaths...and got rid of them somewhere along the way. I love the one you did..perfect..and will take you right into Valentine's Day. Hugs-Diana
Great idea! It's always hard right after Christmas. Actually, ours are still up, but this upcoming weekend it's all coming down. Thanks for stopping by my blog - I'm glad you did so I had a chance to see your wonderful blog! Your home is gorgeous.
Very cute, Debbie...I love all the detail. I want to make a thrify wreath out of my Christmas wreath. This is so inspiring!
