What is it about roses?

When we were younger, I always told my husband, "Oh, don't waste your money on flowers, I'd rather have something that LASTS!" But as time has passed, I've found myself appreciating things I never thought I would ~ and flowers are now one of those things.

Yes, they do eventually die but the joy they give you while they're around is just wonderful! I love the color of these roses that he gave me on Valentine's Day.... sort of a vintage pink, wouldn't you say? I will enjoy these now and even later ... because I will be sure to dry them. I bet the color will be gorgeous then too!!!

And a not-so-romantic gift but
an oh-so-wonderful gift that I picked out....
an external hard drive to back up my entire computer!!!!
I have so many things stored on this ol' computer now
and I'd just cry and cry if it crashed.....thank you so much honey!!!

Noah is out of school this week for winter break!!
I'm afraid we get into a terribly messed up schedule
but it's all part of the fun ~
we stay up incredibly late together and sleep in like a couple of bums.
I've been finally pricing the things to go in the antique space
and need to paint a sweet little table to go in there too.

Thank you all again for your wonderful comments on my giveaway!!!
You all sure know how to make a girl feel loved :) ~ I love you back!!!

Wishing you a very happy Monday dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
