Christmas Wreath
My darling husband had this great idea that I should make a Christmas Wreath out of the Holly we have growing at the front of our house. When he made the suggestion I immediately thought of the pain I would experience in doing such a task, however being the dutiful wife I accepted the challenge. Although the finished product looks alright the pain was as expected. Ever tried to give a cat a bath? well this was a similar experience. I now have a greater appreciation of what a crown of thorns might feel like. Anyway if you are interested in causing yourself immerse pain this is how it's done: First you need to cut a cardboard ring. then twist holly branches around the ring and attach with wire. I used solder wire but I suggest using florist wire as it's a bit stronger. Then add tinsel and decorations.

It says that gareth wrote this post but I promise it was me.
looks like an identity crisis.
i like your wreath. i'm sure someone told me the origins of that word once. it's pretty deep.
but how come it wasn't Gareth's fingers that got all cut up? boys...
made him cut some of the Holly, I think that hurt him alittle.
