I spent last week in Alford, FL with my mom. Alford is a small town located deep in the woods of the Florida panhandle. The roads are made of clay without a stop sign in sight. We had a great time watching the birds and crafting. We were feeling inspired by our surroundings and a blog post on Family Hiatus. This is my Christmas wreath made with the local greenery. The berries are courtesy of the endless Yaupon Holly trees.
This is what I started with. The form only cost $3.17 at Walmart! It’s an 18″ grapevine wreath. It was so simple; I didn’t have to use glue or ties of any kind. The leaves and twigs wound right into the wreath with no problems.
My mom made this candle holder out of pine cones and acorns. The base is a piece of circular styrofoam spray painted brown. She scraped out a small circle in the center to hold the candle then attached the pine cones and acorns with a hot glue gun. It looks beautiful but may or may not be highly flammable. To ensure a merry Christmas, do not light!
I must say that nice design of blog must attract many visitors. I was reading Your blog for arround 3 last weeks and I’m really impressed.
Thanks so much, and please keep reading!

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the composition on your web site. But I am employing Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Xubuntu and the look and feel aren’t quite kosh er. Not a serious deal, I can still fundamentally read the articles and research for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of hard to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it and will work on that issue.
I’m getting an error on the archives page
Thanks for letting me know. I’m having issues all over the place; it’s time to bite the bullet and (ugh) call customer service.
Hey this blog is great. I’m looking forward to reading more.
