The Charlie Brown Advent Wreath
Tomorrow starts the Christian season of Advent.
And since I’m am forever making up for a childhood with no Advent wreaths, I was on a mission to pull mine together today.
For the first time ever, I went to our local florist and bought an oasis wreath to keep my greenery green.
And I learned this is what one does to prepare the oasis. (Good thing something in this house got a bath today.)
So later on this evening after the oasis was good and soaked, I remembered to make the darn wreath for Advent starts tomorrow.
Since this thing is like SpongeBob on steroids I decide to move this project out of doors.
Avert your eyes from the leaves.
The towel was for bring the drenched wreath back into the house. Just saying.
Things got a little heavy duty.
After I started arranging, things looked terrible.
I mean, these ladies come to Garden Club and whip out all this greenery and create magical things.
Mine just looked like a it was banished to the Land of Misfit Advent Wreaths.
This wasn’t turning out at all like I envisioned.
So I snipped from a boxwood to my left. Ran over and plucked from a magnolia at the end of the drive.
Dear Goodness.
But I toiled on.
What we have here is the makings of a Charlie Brown Advent Wreath.
This will never do.
Maybe what I needed was light.
So I carried the dripping SpongeBob in and started to work some more.
I toiled away.
Look what I also found at the florist this year. Very cool.
Honestly, I would have given up hours before if I didn’t have to post a picture of the finished project.
And finally I ended up with this . . .
So can CHECK that off the list.
Now on to the next project.
How are your Christmas chores coming along?
