Christmas 2007 Holiday Wreath

Christmas Holidays Wreath and Patty's Floral Design Certificate

This is Richard and I just wanted to extend a belated congratulations to my mom, Patty for earning her floral design certificate several weeks ago. She has overcome a lot of obstacles in the past two years and still managed to find time to chase her dream. The dream is now a reality.

Lastly, I want to wish a Happy Holidays to anyone who might read this blog.

And now, here is what my mom wrote about this wreath.

"I created this wreath for a gift this year. I would like to write about the materials used in this wreath.

One (1) artificial pine wreath 18 - 20 inches diameter, (3) yards of # 40 ribbon (2 11/16 inch), 1 ½ to 2 ½ yards # 5 ribbon (5/8 inch), table runner, styrofoam, wires, (5) large size poinsettias, gold colored glass ornament balls, pine cones, sprays of silk flowers to give the arch from the bow or any decorative sprays. Please note glass ornaments will loose their shine if expose to the elements.

Today is Christmas Eve and every year this day will bring happy memories. I would like to say Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year." - Patty
