Dia Daoibh!
The Quality Street saga continues ... honestly, at this point it’s less of a treat and more of a tragedy. First, they binned the shiny wrappers (there goes my stash for Christmas crafts), and now I’ve learned the so-called Quality chocolate is made with palm oil. Palm oil! I’m convinced they should rename it Disappointing Street and be done with it. I think even the toffee feels like it’s questioning its life choices.
Anyway, onto something that actually brings joy ... my latest card, made using PowerPoppy’s Felt Leaves and Fruit Wreath Stamp Set.

And on a funny note, I’ve sworn off buying Christmas chocolates until December officially starts. Every “just-one-tin” I buy disappears faster than you can say Roses and regret. We had a tin out for Halloween, and it’s a good thing we did! There were so many trick-or-treaters, including one very determined dinosaur who came back twice… I gave him an extra few sweets for commitment. If he shows up at Christmas, he’s getting a lecture on palm oil.

Your fall wreath is beautiful! We didn't have many trick-or-treaters this year. That meant, of course, that we HAD to eat the leftover candy. Now we're rolling toward Christmas. Seriously. After all that candy, we're perfectly shaped for rolling!
Love the beautiful wreath and Autumn colours and very brave adding glitter. The Quality Streets are not the only ones app there are a few choc biscuit bars that can no longer be classed as chocolate because of the palm oil.

What a beautiful wreath and your coloring is fantastic! Thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge with this gorgeous card!
You made this Power Poppy wreath more beautiful than I've ever seen it. Lovely! I'm so glad you shared it with us at Double D as it prompted my first visit to your fabulous blog.
Lovely harvest toned wreath, Wendy!! I know you can't resist glitter yet it elevates the wreath to special gold star status! So pretty!
