What a luscious photo of a rose! I don't like diamonds. Can I ask for pretty rocks instead? I mean real down on the ground rocks. Like for my garden.

Maria said...

That's so fun, Koralee~
A few weeks ago, I smelled a deep red rose, then remembered my mother's ring and have been wearing it since ♥
Hope you're having fun at the cookie exchange~ and hope we get a peek at all the cookies afterward!
The best part is the BIG variety that comes your way!
Comfort & Joy to you~

Rheea said...

Oh no, no yellow rose here! Can a pink one pass? I don't mind a crystal! haha.

Btw, I have a little something for you in my latest post. May your day be beautiful (smelling that rose and enjoying your diamond).

Great...I'm reading this at 11:10 p.m....I'd say it will be a no diamond year for me!

Carol said...

Oh not...I have a yellow rosebud on my bush....read this too late...will a day late still work???

sarah-jane down the lane said...

Hmm, couldn't seem to lay my hands on a yellow rose anywhere! Luckily I am over-run with diamonds anyway, silly sparkly little things, always tripping over them here down the Lane!

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Oh dear Koralee, I'm a day too late!!
Do you think that if I smell a PINK rose on the 18th, that it will work ? Hehe
Not to worry. I think that I can live without diamonds.
Thanks for letting us know, though. There's always next year !! XXXX

Unknown said...
