Making Colorful Wreaths out of old toys and collectibles from my studio

These cold days have me wishing for sun and happier times. This colorful wreath is made from my kids old toys , some dollar store finds and hot pink silk flowers. It makes everyone who knocks on my door smile.

Ive turned to making things that lift my spirits and hanging them up or wearing them around my home. 

Lots of people are depressed and this is how I am keeping sane.

Here's to warmer days when we can all hug!
