Make a Wreath, You Could Win a Copy of Crocheted Gifts!

December 8, 2009

wreathweek21Check it out. Heather over at Dollar Store Crafts is having a wreath-making contest, and one of the prizes is a copy of Crocheted Gifts signed by me.

I don’t usually do holidays stuff, for all sorts of reasons. But anyway.

This year I’m actually participating in a holidays thing.

Sort of.

So head over there, all y’all who want to smack me in my bah-humbug face.

(Also, what’s the significance of a wreath, anyway? Please to inform. People make some really nifty ones, and I’d love to know the whole wreath story.)

    I was wondering about the history of wreaths m'self.

    Thanks for the shout out & for participating in a holiday event! :)

    Ha ha, my “Wreath Week” image makes my eyes bleed.

    Ha! I loved the image on your blog, but I had a similar reaction after I
    stole it and put it here. Like, wait, I don't think I can read it? Still, I
    totally love it.

    That's so funny because after I commented that it made my eyes bleed, I thought to myself, but I still like it for some reason. Yep, I still like it for some reason. :) Kitschy.

    Thanks for posting this, Kim! I'm not huge on Christmas crafting, but last year (mostly by happenstance) I made a minimalist wreath that makes me Snoopy-dance happy. What a great excuse to finally take photos of it!

    I'm no wreath expert, but I believe the basics are that the circle symbolizes eternity and the evergreens symbolize life. I'm sure there are a lot more details.
