And life felt like this before the Christmas holidays.

I had snipped 8-10 larger branches of holly off of our bush at the cottage.

To start, I sniped some of the longer twigs off of the larger holly branches.

I filled in the empty spaces of the bunches a bit by adding some of the smaller twigs.

Unlike other winter greenery, the holly branches and leaves appear a bit sparse in areas.

you’re able to see that Santa helped to make the wreath.

I added little groupings of the red glitter pine cones for a little pop of colour.

Its been over a month now since I made the wreath and it is holding up nicely.

Im looking forward to changing up the pine cones in a few weeks for something a little more spring-like.
