It looks so much nicer than the shop ones.

There seems to be so many berries on the holly at the moment, so is the winter going to be hard and cold?
Neutered pets are happy pets! Please spay or neuter your pets. There are thousands in rescue waiting for loving homes, and not enough people to take them on.

WOW that looks brilliant, I an deffo not creative but I think I may just have a go too.

I always want to have a wreath to put on the door but I look at the prices and I think to myself that its an expense that I cant really afford. The artificial ones are probably far more practical as they are re-useable each year, but I much prefer to have real one.

I think I will have a go and see how it turns out.

Thanks for the inspiration Jen )t'

Brill ta Jen. We still have a holly bush in the back garden despite my husbands fervour with a hacksaw so will see if we have any branches with berries left. )t'

Thats really lovely Jen, I hope your mum liked it. I might try making one for my mum to cheer her up - she's getting her knee replaced tomorrow, so she wont be out and about much this christmas
