Submitted by: Rosa Marie While we were dating, I saved all of the roses that my husband sent me - I had hung them upside down to dry. Sweetheart that he is, I had quite a bunch saved and wanted to do something special with them. So, I chopped off all of the buds and a few of the leaves and made potpourri out of them. Then I went to the local crafts stores and bought an assortment of empty Christmas ornaments to fill - gold spun, and big and little clear glass balls. It was a challenge to fit some of the potpourri into the balls, but I filled them all about half way full. Then I decorated the tops with ribbons, beads and silk flowers. I didn't tell him what they were until after the tree was all
decorated... he thought I bought them. He was surprised and amazed
that I had saved all of his roses and that they weren't left to rot in a
box in the attic. And I just love telling people that come over
and see our tree that all of the roses I got while we were dating are
hanging for all to see... |
