Fall Wreath

I made this wreath to sell at the Milford Craft Fair, October 13, 2012.  My first attempt at making a wreath in a long time.  The first time I made a wreath, I was in 1st or 2nd grade and it was made with a clothes hanger and tissue paper.  Since I will be 57 on Oct. 2, 2012, like I said its been a long time ago :)
