She Who Shall Not Be Named

I made this wreath, and one for Miss Gigi, maybe 12 to 15 years ago. It wasn’t my original idea, although I’d love to claim it. I saw one like it in a Mary Engelbreit magazine, and said HELLO BEAUTIFUL! What a fun way to enjoy my weird and kitchy Christmas ornaments and decorations that make me smile and cringe at the same time! Bet you have some, too. Or your mother does. Or a garage sale does. Be a Christmas Picker, my friend.

Here’s how I made it: I frosted a fake wreath with white spray paint, then wrapped it with goofy fake candy garland, and then set to wiring my little treasures onto the darn thing. Nothing is sacred. Just cram it on! The denser, the better, and funnier!

Okay, now check this out.

Look familiar? Uh huh.

She’s the great-great-great-great aunt of the Elf Who Shall Not Be Named.

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!
