When I was in second grade, my parents were out of town for Valentine's day. Wanting to celebrate the holiday, I carefully wrapped candy sweethearts in fancy tissue paper and tied it with a pretty ribbon for everyone in the class. Twenty five times. Imagine my surprise the next day, when everyone untied their treat to reveal...
An empty little package.
One of my brothers, had eaten all of the candy, and then, carefully re-tied each ribbon.
May your Valentine's day be filled with sweethearts of the 'real' variety.

there ought to be as many for love.'

Were you mortified?!?! Well, in spite of what those pesky little brothers did, you were already showing your complete craftiness, just getting ready for the day you'd have a beautiful blog. Good job! Happy Valentine's Day ~ Mary
Oh yeah ... I have a little brother who would have employed similar hijinks ~ sounds very familiar!!

How funny, all these year later right, not so funny then! Happy V Day.
Beautiful pictures, I love all the pretties you have made, and the rose wreath is so sweet. Loved hearing your anecdote....funny now but maybe not so then?! I only had sisters so never experienced the naughty pranks of little brothers!
Happy week.
