In 2013 we bit off a bit more than we could chew, and by the end of the fourth decorating day we were exhausted.  We also worried that some of the last few wreaths we created were nothing more than perfunctory, and that our volunteers might re-think their future participation in an activity that was becoming quite stressful. This year we decided not to offer the “fully decorated large wreath” option, since those orders took the most time and skill to produce.  As a result, the number of our fully decorated orders decreased to a reasonable level and each wreath was a joy to create.  We thank all our customers for their understanding, and hope that the wreaths they received more than met their expectations.  The example below is one of a set of four, with cream bows and all natural accents.
