"If there is something you must do and you cannot do it, you cannot do anything else." ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
Have you ever had an idea for a project, start it, tweak it, hate it, tweak it some more, want to throw it away but realize you have too much time and $ in it to do so, so you rip it apart and try again?
Yeah, that's the story of this wreath I did for spring. After multiple try-agains, here's the current version. Will I probably re-do it again next spring? Most likely!

The final (for now at least) version
Version 4 - I added a "Spring" banner w/ buttons and ribbon covered mini-clothespins.
Version 3 - This was the tear-apart and restart. I also switched the birds, MWHP (My Wonderful Hubby Phil) said they had looked angry at each other w/ their backs turned (lol)
Version 2 - I pulled the orange pom-pom flowers, the ribbon is now really starting to annoy me.
Version 1 - I fell into the trap of "I have scrapbook paper that matches this ribbon!" Way too much (of everything)

I love that you shared all the versions. I'm adding this to my clipboard called Upcycled Birdcages. Hometalk will feature the clipboard on their fb page. Wahoo!
