Wenda and I have been friends for 45 years!!!!!!!!!!!! AND, we share a birthday! Isn't that something!!??? She has been such a HUGE part of my life, I don't know what I would do without her. In fact today she hosted a breakfast for some of our friends who have spent winter in Florida, a welcome home breakfast. So I wanted to have her wreath ready for her to take today. This first picture is last night, hanging on my back door in the morning room. As you can see, I started with a grapevine wreath.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1gKorUpCWaHutByY1hLlSj9XvCMQ_zbtKNELlFSU_krXvoAaQUUzesLcoZ_AxhoYWVoSRBVBUNKMbKRuNpfA8kevJP1jqWaYsJ1vbDVROJvlkwoZ7IMb6_oT3vtJP2oE4PDV3tnzeviRo/s1600/Wenda's+wreath+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1gKorUpCWaHutByY1hLlSj9XvCMQ_zbtKNELlFSU_krXvoAaQUUzesLcoZ_AxhoYWVoSRBVBUNKMbKRuNpfA8kevJP1jqWaYsJ1vbDVROJvlkwoZ7IMb6_oT3vtJP2oE4PDV3tnzeviRo/s400/Wenda's+wreath+003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> The first thing I did was make the bow and attach that.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4yi0-OEq6DwaHjYROaGLXDs8x7nANELll52RJqnrnwDCFlUhbKGprLYV4XlPDL-8lP-nrEQAdLTL3_BjEPKxAFghTdAMJyoPO20Vt8KDhiTnsc98RQK3BMEf4iV08QQhpChzY9NnpY99M/s1600/Wenda's+wreath+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4yi0-OEq6DwaHjYROaGLXDs8x7nANELll52RJqnrnwDCFlUhbKGprLYV4XlPDL-8lP-nrEQAdLTL3_BjEPKxAFghTdAMJyoPO20Vt8KDhiTnsc98RQK3BMEf4iV08QQhpChzY9NnpY99M/s640/Wenda's+wreath+004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> In order to "curl" your ribbon, just twist it around you 2 fingers, then pull on it to make a "curl".
