Wreaths for The Beth Longwell Foundation silent auction

hey all! 

i hope middle of october finds you all well and getting ready for the holiday season that is FAST approaching! :) i love fall!  it is my favorite season!

my cousin beth passed away from lung cancer in 2007 and a foundation was started in her name. every year the foundation holds a silent auction and new this year, a movie screening!  my aunt, beth's mom, was in town over labor day weekend in seattle and asked if i could make something for the auction. i of course said yes!  i had made the wreath for my mom and mother in law (see below) and she saw those and loved them so i suggested a trio of wreaths.  the wreath idea took shape and because the holiday season was fast approaching, i decided on a fall wreath, a holiday wreath and a valentine's day wreath!  here they are for the viewing:

as we speak, the wreaths are on their way to my aunt's house!  the foundation is in novemeber and i can't wait to hear how much the foundation raised this year to support my cousin and what she loved best, education and helping children.  :)  love to my family and beth, forever.
