Love Isn't Love "Til you give it away




A bell is no bell until you ring it,
A song is no song until you sing it,
And love in your heart
wasn't put there to stay -
Love isn't love
'Til you give it away

Celebrate Family this New Year 2012

A Happy New Year! Grant that I bring no tear to any eye.
When this New Year in time shall end Let It be said I've played the friend, Have lived and loved and labored here, And made of it a happy year

Holiday Greeting Cards




I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old famliar carols play,
And wild and sweet
the words repeat
Of peace on earth and good-will-to-men!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

March Birthday Flower

March Birthday
Greeting ecards
March: Jonquil
Alternate: Daffodil
The Jonquil is another name for the Daffodil which has the botanic name of Narcissus, however referring to these flowers as Jonquils is normally only done in North America. Technically speaking, the name Jonquil should only refer to the variation called Narcissus jonquilla and cultivars derived directly from that variation.

The traditional Jonquil is a ring of light golden petals with a trumpet shaped center of a darker contrasting shade of gold/yellow. Cultivators have changed the flower for some nurseries giving it several layers of petals, instead of the original one, sometimes making the flower look like a little golden ball.

The Jonquil is used prominently for decorating during the Chinese New Year in both China and festivals celebrating this holiday around the world. The Jonquil, is referred to as the Daffodil in Wales and is considered to be the flower of Wales, where a small area of Tenby grows their own, unique variation. St. David's Day is celebrated in Wales on March 1st and Daffodils are often worn for that holiday.
