Harvest Crafts

                       

I have lived in my current apartment for two years; and with every holiday season that passes by I find myself thinking that it would be nice to put something on my front door to represent the festivities of the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. My neighborhood doesn't do very much in the way of decorating for any of the holidays and it was my secret wish that if I started doing a little something, than maybe the house next to mine or across the street would get inspired to put up some festive adornments of their own and from there the whole street might somehow find themselves placing pumpkins and hanging horns of plenty and other holiday wreaths outside their homes. This year I was finally motivated enough to make a pretty cool wreath.

I didn't want to do something obscure, nor did I want something that looked too country crafty. I found some faux Japonsese cherry blossoms in a fall pinkish maroon color and went from there. The style I tried to achive was Asian, Harvest, Halloween. In the end after spending some time and not a lot of money I hung the wreath, inside at the entrance to my immeadiate apartment. Ironically when all was said and done I knew how sad I would feel if my wreath got stolen and decided not to take the chance. There's still loads of time to make another wreath for the Harvest season and I just might. If it gets stolen at least I'll still have this one to make me smile.
