Homemade Christmas Wreaths and Secret Book Boxes

While the semester is coming to a close (finally).  One thing I like to do that keeps me semi-sane (or gives me my fix, if you will) is making stuff.  Usually the more utilitarian the better...but it doesn't necessarily have to be useful...

Since I don't have a kiln and lack the funds and time to get one and make stuff out of clay...we have discovered the joy of making stuff out other old stuff.  Like old books, and secondhand pine branches.
