My friend Tam wanted me to show my Valentine's tree, but it isn't anywhere near grand enough to post, just a small artificial tree filled with paper cards and hearts that I found around the house. It was a good thing to do because it forced me to gather all the old cards together and I found a lot of cards (not hand made), from my husband that sat in a trunk for about 30 years. A little while ago I forced him to sit as I read out all the loving messages in each of them!
I'm going to design a special tree for next year, maybe of dowels or something to hang our cards. Meanwhile, here's a link to a smashing Valentine Card wreath from Williams Sonoma ($39.95). I have many of the scraps shown, in Victoriana Calendars that I've been saving so I might just try to make one like it. I love Valentine's Day!

Come Easter, if I remember, I'll post a picture of my Easter egg tree that has many of my hand crafted styrofoam egg ornaments. Many moons ago, the galleries that sold some of my other crafts sold these for me as well. I wonder if people still make them.
I'd love to see links to other people's hand crafted cards or ornaments!

Pretty! You know the one you sent me looks sort of 3D in the background! I swear... the way the red pops out in it!
And you HAVE to show me the valentine tree! Pretty please with sugar on top?? That is funny you made him sit there while you read the cards. YOu should've made him read them to you. LOL
