PM, oh I so agree w/blk bowties!!! I will keep that in mind for next year. To busy this year to get them made I'm pretty sure. High heels are red. Thanks for the great idea. Jeanne, so glad I made you SMILE! You seem like the kind of person who wears a smile 99% of the time from what I know. Jane, Yes, I knew I could count on you! Ya, everyone really looks forward to seeing what's coming next. This really adds to the fun. The full time gal who works for me is so into decorating and that really helps. Candy, oh I would love having pink high heel shoes. The only color left was red so I didn't know what I was missing till now.Sigh!!! I love using pink and green together. Oh Goodness, I love pink with most colors.haha Your tree sounds beautiful. How about sharing it with all of us? Fun2bhere, I love suggestions so don't ever hesitate to let me know what your thinking. We made 65 heart bows like the ones you can see in the 1st picture and tried them before using the heart garland. We both agreed the garland looked better so we used it. Funny how we thought the same as you till they were up. Jeanne, if I had more time and a material store close by I would buy some plain blk material and then some with polka dots for the centers and whip them up. However, it's 60 miles to run get some so till next year the bow ties will be on hold. Oh Karen, your so fun. Nothing warms the heart like fun times shared w/friends. Love it when you sound like the Karen we love. Hope your Fibro is as good as it can be. Luvs, a BIG YES, so fun! I've always been a little reserved on here and try not to show or share what goes on at the offices. The gal who is working full time now at my office is so much like me when it comes to decor. She doesn't have room to store decorations at home so loves what we do at the office. You are all so wonderful to be a part of. Your comments keep me getting out of my chair and trying new things. Now I will try to do just that as soon as I finish reading all the posts here.LOL Stay warm and safe DF's. Our snow has left and the sun is shining here today. Just beautiful out. Punk

Thanks for that link, jane...she did do a nice job on that wreath ...& interesting that she mod-podged it afterward & added 'glitter!' (that dreaded word in my vocabulary!) LOL! Don't know yet if I'll try to print...gosh, it would take alot! & also I can't believe you 'cut out' all the nips & tucks of the card in that 1st pic! Wow! I know...you were a teacher...experienced! ;-) (me, too, I guess). TFS! TFS, Holiday-ers, all your comments! & no, punk I don't know which tinsel wreaths you are talking about...got a pic? Jeanne S.

Thanks for all your opinions! Since the majority of you think the cupid should stay, he's staying. DD informs me that he's not Cupid, but an angel because he doesn't have the prerequisite bow & arrow. He's holding a mandolin, I think. Hmmmmm! I've hung the wreath on the inside of my front door until I can get a hanger for my big picture window in the dining room tomorrow at HL. I've also added more roses to the bottom right of the wreath. Does it look ok to you? Take them off or leave them on? Lynn

What cute little Valentine faces, Anj. They will look so cute on your fridge. I know the kids will love them too. That is pretty smart of you to think to make them as magnets. They would be really cute to hang on a twig tree too--you know, where you stick a small branch in some styrofoam in a flower pot and hang little ornaments on it. Some people like to spray paint the tree white. Like you and City, I like her Halloween creations. I had thought I was going to do Mr. and Mrs. "Frankie" this past Halloween, then didn't get them done. (No big surprise there!) Good idea to get a few things cut out and ready for Fall. Don't do like me and put the cutouts in a bin and then forget what book the pattern was in! Wasn't it Belle who told us she always puts a tag on hers with the artist, book name, and page number on the wood piece? I thought that was a great idea. Glad you found a bit of time to paint--I know you enjoy doing that, and it is so fun to have new things you have created. Luvs
