Welcome to yet another blog hop. Today’s blog hop is involving participants from the "Art with Heart" team which is managed by Claire Daly. Only a small number of us are participating in todays blog hop but there is actually over 80 demonstrators in the “Art with Heart” team and we are spread all over Australia. If you wish to join the “Art with Heart” team, e-mail me for more details. We have a fantastic team forum, a business building club not to mention lots of friendly and supportive fellow demonstrators.
The "Art with Heart" team are running blog hops each and every month. (They are to be held on the last day of the month.) Keep this in mind to come back and visit if you are not a regular visitor.
You may have just come from Judy May’s blog but if not, there is a link at the end of my post (and each post of those involved) and you will be able to make a complete journey to all of those demonstrators participating. If you leave a comment on all of the blogs, e-mail Nikki at [email protected] and you will be in the draw to win some lovely blog candy.
Note:There is a deadline of 72 hours to enter for the blog candy, (finishing at 6am AEDST, Wednesday February 3rd, 2010) and only non SU demos are eligible to win. Please don’t feel discouraged to comment if you are a fellow demo or if the blog candy contest has closed as I love comments from all my visitors.
For our very first blog hop, we are celebrating “Valentine’s day”.
Just some background information first. I love it when my husband brings me flowers, (only he knows better than to buy me a “bunch” of flowers.) I prefer just “one” flower (as to me it says the same thing.) This is where my bunch of “love” flowers come in. I am saving for a swimming pool for our family and any extra money is being put away. If hubby wishes to buy me a flower he no longer has to spend the money and can give me a lovely bunch of flowers to show his is thinking of me. Not only will they not cost anything, but they will always look lovely and fresh... All he has to do is write me a little note and peg it onto the jar...

What a brilliant wife you are - you make your own present and save the family money! Don't tell my hubby. LOL! And at least you know you're going to like what you get! This would make a great Mother's Day gift from the kids too! Fantastic.

Very clever Ros, I knew you would come up with something a bit different. Love it and love the idea, I'm all for getting flowers but hate it when they die, and this saves money too. Thanks, Erica xx
