Could This Be My Best Christmas Gift Ever?
My mom rocks! She sent me a box of greenery cuttings from the family farm, in Virginia. Not only that, she included a container, floral foam, and all the supplies I needed to create an arrangement. A big bow, too. How cool is that?

I gleefully unpacked Magnolia leaves, Boxwood, Nandina berries, and began to plan. Working with these plants gave me a sense of nostalgia. An unexpected bonus that made the gift even more special.
Here’s my result:
Wasn’t that sweet of my mom to think of such a creative gift and to put in the time needed to cut and pack everything? I got to enjoy her thoughtfulness, a little nostalgia kick, the fun of creating the arrangement, and the enjoyment of having it in my home. For those reasons, I think this will rank as one of my all-time favorite gifts.
THANKS Mom!
