Do you remember the ornament wreath I made last year?
Here it is in last week's Chicago Tribune, along with a few other beautiful, budget-friendly ideas for the holidays. (Click twice to enlarge.)
In fact, judging from my Google Alerts, there's more than a few of you out there stringing wire hangers with ornaments this season. So here it is: email Jaithan (jaithan@eddieross.com) your inspired version, and we'll do a friendly little contest. Note: Wreaths must be done using a hanger, not a form. Readers will then vote which is their favorite, and I'll send her (or him!) something from our butler's pantry. Good luck, everyone! Now let's see those wreaths!
Hi Eddie and Jaithan - which wreath was the winner? Dying to know! Thanks so much for choosing me amongst the finalists - my friends were green with envy.
Season's Greetings to you and yours!

I knew it . . . I knew it! The design world is now really taking note of your wonderful talent, Eddie! It's great to see your creations ~and You~ being showcased in so many different venues lately. What I'm ultimately hoping for, though, is that you finally get your own design show on HGTV or Fine Living. Gosh, what a great show THAT would be!

Are you going to do something creative with live poinsettias this year? I'd love to see how you would design with them in mind.....I've got 150,000 to sell and I thought you'd be able to inspire people on how to use them in their decor :)

Using items from the yard is so easy and right at your fingertips! I've even used milk weed spray painted gold in past years.

Yes, Eddie, you have started quite the trend! They are everywhere this year. I was on top of it last year, but actually am getting to use mine this year. Loved seeing you on HGTV with Kathy Lee, so fun!
