Happy Birthday, Mary Jane! I know it was last week but I did not get your gift done until this week. Mary Jane is my daughter's mother-in-law and my son-in-law's mother! I have never seen her without a smile. She loves my daughter as her own. She is a precious sister-in-Christ to me. As you can see, her gift is a money tree. I found the pattern on the internet a year or two ago. We parents have given cash or gift cards to each other to celebrate birthdays. I decided to do it this way this time. I told her this plant only blooms once but if she could figure out how to make it grow larger, she should share her secret! Today was such a gorgeous day. This is a beautiful season to be born. It's like all nature is celebrating with you!
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Proverbs 31:28

We'll have to let late gift blame fall on us. The dog had us so distracted this afternoon, that I didn't even remember the tree until we opened the trunk this evening when we were leaving Wal-Mart. I might see if Josh thinks he will run into any of his parents this week so that we can arrange a drop off.
Very unusual and creative gift. Too bad it really can't be planted. We would all like to have the secret if it bloomed.
That's really cute, Lynda!!
I'd like one of those for my birthday...so cute!
