Anything Goes Blog Hop

Stop and Smell the Roses

 I love roses. They are a passion of mine.
I have a variety growing throughout our yard with each
being more beautiful than the one before. 
Sometimes we pass up the most beautiful things that are right in front of our eyes.

The Red Rose has always been a symbol of love and affection.

" Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, 
be happy that the thorn bush has roses."

" Even if love is full of thorns, I'd still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, 
there is a rose that's worth all the pain."

" True love is not without pain, like that of thorns in your side. 
Yet love is like the rose in full bloom, beautiful and full of life."

" You cannot pluck roses without fear of thorns, 
Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of thorns."
(Ben Franklin)


I wanted to show you a couple that have just came into bloom.

Door Wreath



Hello Friends

I've been wanting to create a new spring/summer door wreath lately.
I like to make one every spring but I'm running late this year.
Anyway today I decided to go for it.
So I went outside for some inspiration. 
I love all the signs of summer, the green leaves, the budding trees, the smell of the air, everything. 
So during my inspirational walk I found this bush of, well basically, weeds. 
They were very green and pretty weeds. 
So I decided that this is what I would use for my wreath. 
I gathered some branches, some of the weed branches, twigs, grass, basic outdoor items.
 I bent the branches, tied them together with grass, you know, wilderness style.
I had Jacob helping me pick up twigs and we had a great time. 
Now let me unveil my masterpiece and you can tell me what you think.

Before


After


Well as you might have guessed I didn't get as inspired outside as I would have liked. 
So my next brilliant idea was to search Pinterest. 
I found some awesome spring/summer wreaths that I pinned for inspiration. 
 I've got more on my Pinterest page if you want to take a look at those too.
Below are some ideas of wreaths that I thought I'd share with you just in case
anyone else out there is having the same creative issues as me currently.

Inspiration by Pinterest.







Yeah, these are a little better than my own creation, but hey I tried. LOL


Till next time, go create something.
