Making a holiday wreath

Here is a behind the scenes look at the making of my holiday wreath which I call

’Joy Contagion’. Every year for the past 10 years a group of friends of mine meet up and swap holiday gifts that we create every year it’s something different. This year‘s focus was a custom art wreath. Another year‘s focus was a Nutcracker which you can see here and on and on.

I am truly grateful for this creative circle of friends Who have created this very fun, warm, welcoming tradition . I’m extremely grateful for it, especially in these uncertain times that we live in. It just brings a layer of comfort into my life that I deeply appreciate. Extra special thanks to our groups number one facilitator of fun Gina Kim check out her site and see all the fun created projects and things she’s involved in.

Here are some photos from the festive swap!

If you would like the recipe for the salt dough ornament directions can be found on my My Blog here. these ornaments last years and years just mentioning I have had one of my character ornaments for well over a decade and it’s never molded or rotted and it’s still looking as fresh and cool and weird as ever. I just love it and I’m so happy to be able to share this recipe with you.
