A little Valentine tree----and, I won Jane's giveaway!

I wanted to share a little Valentine tree I decorated for the month of February.

I had saved one of the smaller trees (taller than me) that I had decorated for Christmas,
knowing that it would be perfect to hang some of the leftover hearts I had been
making heart garlands for a couple of my granddaughter's rooms.

.

I tied some of my dried roses together and then hung a little Maileg cone that my 

friend Sarah had given me and filled it with a few of buds

I want you to know that I have strategically placed the tree where my husband 

has to walk around it.

I wonder if it's a big enough hint?

He knows I'm easily pleased with chocolate :)

Yes, I'm still painting...it seems like I will never finish, but the little 

tree has been a bright spot.

Quite awhile ago, in fact, before Christmas, I won a wonderful giveaway by Jane from 

Blondie's Journal! I wanted to share it sooner, but had to find the photos I had taken of 

her lovely presentation of it. The book, The Inspired Room by Melissa Michaels 

was beautifully wrapped in Christmas paper and Jane had added some of the seeds she 

had gathered from her own gardens for me to plant in mine. I'm so thankful

for this thoughtful gift. Now I will have something to remind me of Jane growing

right her in Idaho! Jane and I have been blogging friends for years and I can't imagine 

anyone not familiar with her blog, but if you're not, you should go see the

Birthday Party for her darling little granddaughter Elsie!

I have a little Valentine vignette I hope to share in my next post, so see you soon!
