A New "Wreath"
We needed a new "wreath".
Really any other object than the Christmas wreath still on our front door.
Yep, still had it up in January.
I run from the car to the house, not thinking about anything but warmth.
At times I would glimpse the wreath, thinking I should take it down, but not until this idea came to me (from another blog) did I get motivated.

It took a little time to get prepped.
Needed lots of crayon shavings.
After two blisters on my finger and a sore hand we were ready to put it together.
Step 1: Shave Valentine colored shavings into a bowl
(try a potato peeler to avoid blisters)
Step 2: Let your child sprinkle shavings onto a heart shaped piece of wax paper
(okay, skipped a few steps i.e. cutting out wax paper into hearts)
Step 3: Preheat iron
Step 4: Place wax paper heart (full of crayon shavings) onto brown paper bag.
Step 5: Cover with a matching wax paper heart
Step 6: Place another brown paper bag over the entire heart
Step 7: Slowly go over the brown paper bag with the iron
(will melt crayon pretty quickly)
Step 8: Remove brown paper bag. Look to see if crayon shavings have melted.
Step 9: Repeat steps 6-8 if needed
Step 10: Hang on door or window.
