I've been a major tea-freak since the age of 14, and find that I have to get up and walk around every couple hours or so to satisfy that craving--and, on the way to Keurigging, may get distracted by a sink full of dirty dishes, so get plenty of motion out of that, as well; or, I might just go upstairs to scan a book or some mail, or do laundry, check snail mail, whatever. I really like the concept of incorporating natural exercise into your day--programmed exercise, I find unbearably boring and lacking in fun! Then, there are the times I accidentally drop my crochet hook--every once in a great, great while; that forces me to bend from the waist, even as I'm still seated on the couch, and to reach with an extended arm/hand, so that works out, too. Happy stretching, whatever strategy you decide on!

> Supplies Included:

> 1 Metal Ring, 8 inches
>
> Christmas green curling ribbon
>
> Childs scissors
>
> Wal mart gift candy in amount of $5 for candy supply
>
>
>
> Instructions:

> piece of scotch tape.
>
> 2. .Now take your prewrapped candy and place it on a surface that

> piece of the curling ribbon, if using this, or yarn, or what you are
> using to tie candy on with and cut at least a 6 inch piece or more, if

> flat pieces that are sticking out to make the wreath fuller. Some

> ribbon piece, like a dangling earring.
>
> 4. .Separate the ribbon tails and start at your tape marker, tie

>
> 5. .Continue to tie candy and add to the ring all the way around

> of the wreath, if you yoused curling ribbon, go back and curl your ends
> to fill wreath.
>
> 6. .Take your childs scissors and place in space of center of
> wreath
> and cut a piece of ribbon to be tied over your tape marker to the
> handle of the scissors and tie both ends on, one end knotted and tied
> on tape marker and other knotted on the handle of the scissors, so the
> scissors hang freely into the center and can be used to cut a ribbon of
> candy off the wreath.
>
> 7. .Your choice again, take a few strands of the curling ribbon
> or a
> large bow of a different color and if using curling ribbon, make a few

> hand down.
>
> 8. .You can take a paper clip and open it flat and bend one end

> the back of the metat ring as a hanger, if desired, or not place on at

>

>
