Here is my second to last Christmas project. My cards are still sitting on my desk but you bet they WILL be sent! AND they will say Merry Christmas 2010- by golly!!!!

I've been feeling mighty guilty about all the garbage leaving this house from day to day. Here's one upcycle idea- I used up 8 EIGHT shopping bags for this wreath! Great way to get rid of those paper bags collected during your Christmas shopping spree...

Huge difference no?

I got this wreath idea from a craft blog late one night. I thought I had saved the address- nope! That wreath was done with canvas, brown bags and jute. I don't own a fancy cutting machine so bags and a 2 inch EK Success slim punch were used.
It took 3 days of punching and hot gluing the rolled up circles to the wreath base- WAY too much work but I love how it's different from traditional Christmas wreaths. The peace dove comes from a random card. Probably needs more bling on the other side right? Maybe next year...
I got the Poinsettias at Michael's for 17 cents each- wish I had gotten more! I used up all the ones I bought- how did I resist getting bagsfuls???? Miss Lola had me distracted- she kept grabbing them and trying to stab her eye out with the stick end.
Today I will spend the day wrapping gifts and trying to get my new star and cloud punches from
123stitch.com outta hock (the post office) wish me luck- the post men are ANGRY this time of year.
