Rhodes 2 Wreaths - My sister the crafter

Hello!

Today I'm going to share some crafty goodness not from me, but from my sister, Nicole.  Back in October she posted in Facebook a wreath that she had made.  She said she saw some on Pinterest and wanted to try it out.  One of her co-workers asked for a handmade item that she could donate to her son's silent auction fundraiser at school and that is how this got started.  I was shocked to say the least.  She's not the crafty type.  LOL!!  Little did I know that she's actually got a really awesome eye for ribbon, mesh and putting them all together with some gorgeous details to create some very beautiful wreaths.  Now I am being biased, but I think these are even better than the ones you find hanging up in Michael's.  

I placed an order for my co-workers for Christmas and got them just in time for them to enjoy from Christmas Eve until after the 1st of the year.  Our aisle at work was dubbed "Christmas Wreath Row."  Here are a few of the wreaths that I was able to take pictures of...









As you can see smiles all around!!  Most of them were very non-traditional colors, I asked specific ones to be certain colors based on who they were going to.  I love that she took just colors and made these beautiful pieces of art to fit each individual.  I didn't have to say a thing and she pretty much nailed it on the head with each one.  I also love that some of these can be up all year round.  I had a few more made and as soon as I can upload the pics I'll share them.  If you're interested in ordering for next year leave me a message or like my sister's Facebook page: Rhodes 2 Wreaths.

I've been working on some projects of my own and Kitty Bee posts will start up again on Friday, yay! Feels like I've been on a break forever!  hahaha!  I know I've been MIA, but now that work has slowed down, I can start back up and come visit.  For now, I hope you enjoyed today's post.  Have a great day and for those of you on the East Coast, I hope you're bundled up tight and are staying in where it's warm.  Take care!
