Hey Friends,
This is Odie checking in from Ohio. I hope your holiday season is going well this year. I love this time of year. It is a busy season, but I am soaking it all up. I love all the music, decorations, shopping for gifts, time with family and friends and activities to celebrate the birth of Christ.
I have already had a great time this year. My shopping is just about finished. I hope to have most of my wrapping done soon. My Christmas fun activities began the day after I arrived home.
Thanks to my family for inviting me to be part of their Christmas party. I enjoyed an evening of Christmas fun with some of the ladies of Dodds Pentecostal Church. I had fun working alongside my Aunt Theresa! She also gave me a ride to and from the party. Thank you, Theresa!
We spent a couple hours making Christmas wreaths. Purkey Landscaping in Waynesville, Ohio, hosted the fun night! This is the third year several of us have enjoyed a night of wreath making.
Every year, it has been fun to create a different wreath. There are no two wreaths alike.
All the projects turned out to be beautiful! Here is our group of ladies for the night. Each lady chose additional items to add to the greenery and plants available.
This is my 2023 wreath.
Kristy Purkey and her friend Tammy are fantastic hosts! They provide all the supplies to make our wreaths. Most of us were repeat partygoers from past years. We could use our grapevine wreath from previous times. A couple ladies in our group made beautiful porch pots this year.
Thanks to Kristy and Tammy for their guidance! They are super talented and helpful! Also they were cheering us on and making us feel like our wreath looked great!
Purkey Landscaping is a local business in my community. It is family-owned and operated by Perry and Kristy Purkey. The Purkey's offer many types of services for any landscaping needs.
In 2023, they moved their business headquarters to a new location. They are easy to get to off State Route 73. If you are local, check out The Plant Barn for your plant needs. People say it is a great place to get seasonal plants from the Plant Barn!
They offer different Potting Parties throughout the year. You can check their website or Facebook page for the party schedule. A gift card for the plant barn would be a great gift idea.
Since I arrived home the night before this party, my wreath was my first Christmas decoration out for 2023. It was on my door before the night was over.
I hope you like seeing some of our fun! Thanks for joining me today. See you next time.
Odie
