{oh how I adore a good wreath}

And a PAPER wreath is even better because I love a good book too. Although, I made this one out of a book that I hated. The Memory Keeper's Daughter was just plain depressing. The funny thing is that the back of the book describes it as "uplifting". That's a joke. If you loved it that's fine but I was NOT uplifted. I was miserable and uncomfortable because the whole darn book was awkward, dishonest and mean. Yuck. NOT my type of reading. So I ripped all the pages out and made a wreath out of them by rolling and crumpling them and hot gluing them to a foam wreath circle. Then I just burned the edges of each page which I was relatively sure was going to lead to me burning the whole thing to a heap of embers. But BEHOLD! I didn't burn it to bits. Hooray.

It looks lovely on the wall in our front room because that window has needed something for quite some time. I almost tea-bagged the pages but I'm still deciding it I want it to be a creamy-beige color or not. It's a light creamy-white right now which suits my white-on-white decor fancies. But we'll see in time. Oh, and this would be extra cute at Christmas time made from wrapping paper or even made of scrapbook papers of your choosing.
