A Tissue Paper Flower And A Tiny Lemon Tree


I hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day on Sunday!

I love giving gifts and wrapping them in pretty paper and bows.

So I was intrigued when I recently stumbled upon a step by step tutorial on Pinterest on how to make tissue paper flowers.

I couldn't resist, I had to make one to decorate my mom's Mother's Day gift.

It was incredibly easy and so fun to make.

Check out the tutorial here.

I also gave my mom a baby lemon tree from my own Meyer lemon tree.

It produced 2 tiny lemons earlier this year and I was able to harvest 4 seeds.

All 4 seeds sprouted. So exciting!

It took about 2 months for the seedling to finally emerge. I almost gave up.

But one day in April they began to peek up from the soil.

It'll be fun to see if they survive and if they end up producing their own lemons someday.
