Springtime Procrastination

My nursing classmates and I are nearing the end of our first semester and it seems that all the work is being piled on at the end.  We have skills check-offs, exams, and projects to get done all in the last couple weeks.  It's enough to drive you nuts!!  However, Pinterest afforded me the ability to procrastinate my school duties for at least a little while.  On my way home from school yesterday, I thought to myself, "Marissa, we need a spring wreath for our front door."

So I set about to fix this obvious problem.  I stopped at Michaels and picked up the supplies I would need to make a wreath similar to one I saw on Pinterest.  Below is the wreath I was attempting to copy.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find this type of letter, but I thought it turned out cute none-the-less.  All I bought was a twig wreath, wooden letter, fake hydrangea blooms, and some burlap.
I used my trusty hot glue gun the wooden letter and the hydrangeas.  I made a bow out of the burlap and attached that with hot glue as well.  It was just that simple!  Now the hubby and I have a custom-made Spring wreath and I got at least a half hour of procrastination from doing school work.  I would not have been able to finish this great project without the help of my sweet baby Gracie who is always willing to lend a helping paw when Mommy is crafting!

Happy Spring Crafting Y'all!!
