You all know, or will learn that I love to look at Martha's decor ideas.
She has great ideas, well she and her team of fellow “Marthas”. Anyway, I saw this:
It is a carnation heart arrangement. It looks beautiful, don't ‘cha think?
The problem is, I don't want to spend a ton of money on a bunch of flowers that won't be reusable. Enter another idea, over at Tater Tots and Jello, Jennifer took a Martha idea and made a cupcake liner wreath. In response I made this, it looks like the heart Martha made, and it will last til next year…

Ohhh…and I think the little red flower that you added to the white heart looks gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us for Sunday Favorites!!!
Have a fabulous week, my friend!
