Fall in Love with Fall Blog Hop - Wreaths

Hello and if you're looking for my design team project for scrapping with Lisa, please click here.



You're reached your final stop on the Fall in Love with Autumn Blog Hop and I know you've probably got a million ideas running through your head now. This hop has been awesome with so many cute and beautiful wreaths. I just love it!

Here is my wreath. I love sunflowers. They grew wild back in Michigan along the side of the dirt roads. The birds would drop the seeds as they would fly overhead and up would come a sunflower. 

When we moved to Arizona, I was so homesick for seasons especially fall and spring and I missed my wild fall sunflowers. My father was still alive and living with us and he would feed the birds each day and before summer was over, up came a small sunflower under the tree where the birdfeeder hung. Who would have guessed in the heat of Arizona? It thrived and grew for that first summer and made me feel at home so in honor of a wonderful past memory and now once again I've moved recently to a new home but in Austin, TX this time, I have made a wreath with sunflowers.

I bought the grapevine wreath from Michael's this week for $2.99 and the sunflower bunch was on sale 50% off too. I had a 50% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket so I bought a Bowdabra and ribbon was on sale too! I'm debating on it I like the bow I made. The color of the bow matches the center of the flower but it's hard to see so I may trade out my bow later on. Let me know what you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll stop by in the future to see what I'm up to. Hugs from Lorby's World.

  3. I love this, the sunflowers are just so bright and pretty!
    Those 50% off coupons are dangerous, like you said even if you find everything on sale you need, you still have to find something to use with that coupon! LOL

    The wreath is beautiful!!

  18. I like it! We have sunflowers along the road up here. One of these days I want to get James out there in the morning when the sun is coming up. It's so pretty. We've picked some during our bike rides.
