My goodness, the requests to see the wreath are overwhelming! I won't keep you all in suspense any longer - although that would be fun for me!
Had I known this wreath was going to stay in the house, I would have used fancier things on it - but this was intended for the front door, so I used things that could take some weather, and still look nice.
There are lights on the wreath as well, which makes it look really pretty at night.
I like door wreaths that have fruit on them - I used candied fruit on this one, as well as berries and grapes. While I do think it's pretty, I still think it's OK for the front door.
Beautiful wreath Anna! I just learned this year how to make wreaths (took care of three early Christmas presents that way...LOL!) I *love* the candied fruit on this. Reminds me of Christmas at Colonial Williamsburg. :)

Oh my gosh!!! Is that BEAUTIFUL or WHAT!!?? I think you ought to forget the stamping and cardmaking business and go into the wreath making business. SERIOUSLY, put that on your Ebay store and I BETCHA you would do great! Thanks so much for sharing!

Beautiful job on the wreath! You are a very multi-talented person, Anna! After Christmas this wreath should go back outdoors for the birds to pick at the candied fruit on it! Take off all the things you could use again and the birds would love the rest. I even had a twig wreath a left out a little too long and the birds made a nest in it the spring.
