In the meantime, here's a project I finished before Christmas using a great tutorial I found online. I meant to post it around Christmas. I've always loved monogram wreaths (I'm something of a typophile), so when I came across Restored Style's how-to (via Hi, Friend), I thought I would give it a shot. I made the wreath as a Christmas decoration, but it's actually appropriate for any season. Here's how my wreath turned out:
I did deviate from the tutorial just a little bit. Instead of using fresh boxwood, I used several stems of faux greenery from Hobby Lobby. I made my "B" really big, so it did take a couple of hours to finish. But with a little change of ribbon, the wreath will be able to go from season to season. I'm pretty happy with the result.Hope you all had a happy holiday season. See you back here soon (I promise!) for more posts.

Hi Jessica! Justin and I drove past your house the other day and I admired your neat wreath...and I wondered where you bought it! For doing it yourself it turned out so, so nice (and much better than the one in the tutorial!). Maybe I'll try a J one of these days. :) Happy New Year!
OMG, I love the wreath!!! I think I may attempt to try this DIY project....a "V" can't be that hard, right? I may be calling you for some support.
