By Dorothy On September 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Remember my Christmas tree turned Valentine tree? Well, it has also been the St. Patrick’s Day tree, the Easter tree and, after a few months of rest, it’s the autumn leaves tree! The leaves outside have barely started changing color but I couldn’t stand staring at the bare tree in the [...]
