Wreaths...






I have become obsessed with wreaths lately. I first saw the geo mesh wreaths at the christmas classic in Greensboro last year. I immediately began searching for the "stuff", whatever it was, to make one.. took me until Feb to discover it was geo mesh. I found a roll at Hobby Lobby.. *I wonder what I've done with it... hmmm* Then I saw it at Carolina Pottery in Smithfield... so, of course I had to have some.. My first geo mesh wreath was for Easter... then I had to make a few for family and friends.. Pretty soon I was thinking about the next holiday or season ... just so I could make a wreath.. I also learned to make my own wreath form.. using a swim noodle. I thought it was genius.. then I saw on Pinterst someone else was doing it.. dang.. and here I thought I had discovered something !! hahah.. these are my latest wreaths. Actually, it's only 2 wreaths.. but I can't seem to leave well enough alone and have to "tweak" a time or 2, therefore the geomesh wreath may or may not keep the green/white/red bow...

Awards Day at Gibsonville Elementary School




I was very excited to visit Gibsonville Elementary School on Friday.. however, I was also sad.. Sad because this was the "new" Gibsonville Elementary.. not the old building Rick and my own children had attended... the school building is long empty.. and in sad shape. In fact, rumor has it it's to be demolished in Jan of
2012. I'm sad because of the way the county has allowed this once stately building to crumble when some money for repairs could have benefited the entire community. If only... 2 powerful words...

On to the awards day.. Maddie received 2 awards. One for Good Citizen and one for Academic Acheivement. She was proud to get them both.. and we were thrilled..
