Dollar Store Diva!!

Yup, that's what I'm calling myself now. I went to the dollar store, seeking some simple Easter decorations just to cheer this place up a bit. I'm always looking for wreaths to put on our full light glass doors, but hate how expensive they are - I mean, for one, I can handle. When I have to buy 2 of everything at $40 each, Frank starts to get angry and I get buyers remorse. So I got some inspiration at the dollar store and came up with these.....

And put them all together to make this...(x2)....

Well, they're much cuter in person. I obviously get my inspiration at night, once Eddie is asleep, so I can't really get a good picture of them outside. I did take this one, that doesn't have the finished bow....

Basically I just smooshed the round berry things so they weren't circles anymore and then just attached them to the wreath with wire. Then I just hung them with a bow and voila! Pretty good, seeing as they were SIX DOLLARS. SIX DOLLARS, PEOPLE! Isn't that amazing? Are they perfect, no. But they give me some spring cheer, and that's all I'm really going for.

I've also remembered why Easter is great....the candy! Chocolate everywhere! Almost as good as coffee...
