Turning a disaster into a new tradition! My Christmas tree fell over on Christmas night, and I had just gotten it decorated 4 days before. Argh! It was quite a tangle of beads, lights and ornaments, and it was too much of a mess to rehang everything, so I packed all the ornaments away, but I couldn’t bear to take the tree itself down. I joked with my hubby that I was going to leave it up until Valentine’s Day and decorate it with paper hearts. Well, he thought that was a swell idea, and so did my friends, so here it is: My Valentine’s Tree! (Hmmm…March is coming up…is there a St. Patrick’s Tree in my future?)
P.S. If you’re wondering what’s up with my walls – we are rehabbing a 90-year-old house. The walls are the original plaster, sadly in too bad a state to rescue and repair. We are replacing the plaster with sheetrock room by room. Haven’t gotten to the family room yet.
