Some of my neighbors have artificial forsythia wreaths on their front doors. And they look really pretty, but they're also expensive, so I decided to see if I could dollar-store a forsythia wreath.
I ended up going to A.C. Moore for the wreath itself, because the dollar store ones were sadly lacking. Using a coupon (oh God, I've turned into my mother), I was able to pick up a straw wreath for a couple of bucks.
Then it was back to the dollar store for some fake flowers. I got lured away from the forsythia branches by some more ... exotic stems. I was trying to keep the cost under ten bucks, so I decided to go the minimalist route, i.e., "I'm too cheap to do this up right."
The result?
Well, from a distance it doesn't look too bad ... but it needed something more. Something ... me.
Yep, I think the rooster in the middle makes the perfect statement. The "I am crazy" statement.
Oh, and in Puff Pop Patrol: Yep, she's still pregnant. I think she's stalling. She walking over to Bearycat's kittens last night and hissed at them. I thought, oh, honey, you have NO IDEA what's coming, do you?

When I scrolled down and the wreath appeared, I literally burst out laughing! I LOVE it! It's so you, and so beautiful. It's freedom and spring and glory.
Well, you can't say it isn't BRIGHT, anyway.
That wreath has personality!!
Well, I LIKE the wreath.....color choices, etc. And I think we're all lucky that the rooster isn't riding a motorcycle or something.
