Welcome Laura - wonderful to have you here! Hurray!

You did a great job on that wreath for your first one. Lynn was correct that the wreath will do best if left outside year round. I live in zone 4 where we get some pretty nasty temps in the winter. I just lay my wreaths on the ground next to the house for the winter. They get leaves and snow on them and they do fine. In the spring I just hang them up again. I just have to watch them in the spring so they don't lay in a wet area for too long. As soon as the snow melts I get them out in the sun.

The ones I have now are made with only semps and sedum. I had one that had tender succulents in it but I took it apart for the winter and put the tender ones in pots and brought them in for the winter.

I'm sure that anyone who received one of those from you for Christmas would be thrilled!
