Feeling the Love...of Wreaths

I love wreaths of all shapes and sizes. Round, square, heart shaped, oval-I just love them all, which prompted me to write this blog. Following are a few tidbits of information I have discovered about wreaths while browsing the web.

*Evergreen wreaths symbolize strength.
*The circular shape of wreaths commonly symbolizes eternity.
*In ancient Greece and Rome, the laurel wreath became a symbol of achievement.
*The ancient use of laurel head wreaths in Greece and Rome eventually led to the wearing of crowns by royalty.
*The advent wreath was first associated with German Lutherans in the 16th century as a way to prepare for the coming of Christ.

As one can see, wreaths have been a part of human life for a very long time and have come to have many diverse meanings.

Feelin’ the Love…of Wrapping Gifts

As we inch closer and closer to Valentine's Day, I am thinking of how much I love to wrap gifts. For me, it's not about the paper, although that sometimes plays a factor; it's about the accents-the ribbon, crystals, rhinestones, and anything else I may be using to embellish my presents.

My three daughters join me in gift wrapping for Valentine's Day.  After we've spent an afternoon hand making gifts and cards for our loved ones and one another, we then spend an afternoon wrapping them. Not just the gifts, but the cards as well. Oh my, this is a very sentimental time for we girls as we talk about and share our gifts one last time before they are hidden beneath the wrap.  It's so wonderful to see the love shining in my daughters' eyes as they carefully wrap their homemade gifts for their loves.

All three of my girls are loving, caring, beautiful women, and I couldn't be prouder of them for that. I dedicate Valentine's Day 2011 to them. I truly and deeply love you, Christine, Lauren, and Kara…
