Growing Gifts

December 8, 2008

Sprouting Amaryllis bulbs make me happy which is why I grow them every year as gifts (and keep a few for brightening up our house, too). This year we decoupaged old tissue paper on the pots to make them a little more festive. Once they are ready for gifting we'll attach a bow and handmade holiday cards. The kids are having fun watching them grow before our eyes.

My Mom always grows them and I LOVE them!! So beautiful.

I HAVE so much to share with you from our trip to Sicily. Don't be surprised if people know you when you get there! hahaha. I think I told everyone la mia amica is coming!!

Truly wonderful idea!! And how fun for the children. Not to mention a joy for those who receive.

love those pots!!! from this perspective, it looks like you do tons of creative stuff with the kids. i'm hoping in another year, Maxine will be old enough to let us do arts 'n' crafts without grabbing everything... and that Lee won't be too old to want to do stuff with us!

So simple, yet so lovely.

Bonjourno!! I just saw this featured on one pretty thing and just had to drop by. This is a wonderful idea and gift. The best gift, in my view, is a living one.
