Do You Want to Build a Snowman Wreath
While I was looking for pieces to put together for this wreath, I was reminded of days in childhood when my sister and I would rummage through the cupboards of hats and scarves to find just the right apparel for our snow masterpiece. I even gave the carrot a little bend at the end because it reminded me of our Mom choosing the ugliest carrot to send outside with us!
I was a lucky human who gets to grow up with a sibling that they largely, with few exceptions, get along with. Snowmen were not our only creations. From the time we were wee little girls, we had creative pursuits. In the summer we would paint rocks found on the beach. In spring we would combine objects found around the yard to cook up a "witches brew".
As we got a bit older, my sister became interested in drawing floorplans for our future houses. I enjoyed choosing the layout of the furniture, as well as drawing fashion designs. Neither of us has lost our creative spark even as adults - my sister has become an architect, how funny that she used to draw those blueprints! I have channeled most of my creativity into volunteer pursuits - event planning, art day with patients at the hospital - and now into this crafting venture!
