Deck The Halls: How to Make a Christmas Wreath

My name is Nancy Alexander, an artisan, dreamer, floral and interior designer, entrepreneur, and a lover of nature. I am also a world-renowned wreath-maker... because, I have a gift of making uniquely different, breathtaking wreaths! Blessed with many ＂artsy＂ and ＂creative＂ talents; I am also blessed to have married the man of my dreams, forty-one years ago. I am totally in love with God, my husband, and my family! I found my passion and talent designing & making floral designs & wreaths almost thirty years ago. I was the owner of an upscale, silk, floral and design business in my hometown. It was ＂the place to shop＂ for uniquely different designs, gifts, antiques, and gently used furniture as well as outdoor accessories. This business expanded into multiple locations with many employees. While I struggled to run the business of my dreams, it became obvious that the doors would have to close. I was devastated with the realization that I was losing the battle against the chronic illnesses of Fibromyalgia and Celiac Disease. I felt like such a failure that day as I locked the doors on the only thing in my life that I had every really excelled in. I am now a conqueror and an over-comer of Fibromyalgia and Celiac. I was broken and put back together by God in a beautiful way - a way that I never could have imagined as I now enjoy teaching others to make and sell wreaths on the Internet. I do this through my DVDs, downloadable videos, workshops, books and so much more. Anything made with your own hands is an exciting and fulfilling hobby or business! And...if you are fighting a chronic illness, this can be the gift that brings joy, excitement, and dreams back into your life again. Through Ladybug Wreaths, Ladybug Certified, and Best of Nancy, I consider myself so blessed to be able to make such a difference in the lives of others. I teach a hobby or business that can give you a reason to get out of bed in the morning; one that wakes you up with such a start of anticipation that you just cannot lie in bed. YOU CAN DO THIS - has been my slogan! Even in my weakest, darkest times, I could find a few minutes, then a few hours, and then even days when I could get my mind on something fun and exciting, which then made the energy flow! Yes, Yes, YOU certainly CAN do this too! Philippians 4:13 says: ＂I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me＂. And, thanks to ＂Him＂ I finally can!
