Flowers, flowers, flowers!


I am so so thankful that warm weather is FINALLY here in Michigan!! How about you?
Spring is one of my very favorite seasons. I love the new life and going to the garden center
 and seeing what I can find to bring home with me each year.

We visited my daughter and her family last weekend and her and I attended a
Faire Festival. It was a beautiful time and a fun day. Our first time ever , but we
 decided that next year I need to take my three little granddaughters along.
They would have loved it!! {more on that another day}

I purchased the above basket at the festival and I love it. Hope I can keep it alive. 


My daughter gave me this beautiful plant for Mothers Day. I believe it is "Stock"
and I also hope I can keep this one alive. I just love the color, don't you?


Gorgeous close up of the flowers...just amazing!

I gave my mom this watering can planter for Mothers Day this year and she
loved it. I think it is gorgeous also. 

I mowed our large lawn again today and afterwards took a couple photos
of what is growing in my yard right now.


I thought I would include a photo of my little sweetie granddaughter Annika and yours truly. Her
school had grandparents day this past Tuesday and she invited me. I loved every moment of it.
We got to sit in her class and listen to them read a story and sing some songs. Then I went to lunch
 with her and took her to the book fair. I think they hit the nail on the head to have the book
 fair on grandparents day. After all ,what grandparent is going to tell their grandchild that
they won't buy them anything??? ha!! Then it was on to recess. A fun, fun day and she didn't
 want me to leave. After recess it was hugs and kisses and off she went back into the school.

What is growing at your place? I would love to know!! :)

Decisions...decisions!

Back on October 28, I won a blog giveaway from High Street Cottage for 100 free postcards. I have spent many hours days trying to get one designed that I was happy with! {no easy feat on dial-up internet I might add} When I wasn't cleaning, cooking, shopping or playing I was trying to figure out a design that I really liked.
I put together this collage...

and this one...


yet another one...

and this plain photo and guess what????
 I ended up using NONE of them!! Oh heavens...I love to win things and believe me I am so grateful, but this about drove me to the madhouse. hee hee. I am not a postcard designer and we will see how they actually turn out. They may not even be fit to look at, but hey I tried.
I know this lace and spools photo is an old one, but I am still in love with it and it is one of my most favorite photos ever so I will tell you that it is part of the design I chose, but otherwise it looks nothing like these. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will turn out okay.
{I hope to get back to checking in with more of your blogs soon since I have this behind me now}

You are INSCRIBED on His hand ~

I made this hanging collage today and I really like how it turned out. Using neutral colors I rubber stamped a scripture verse on scrapbook paper for the center image. Then I embellished it with flowers, buttons, trim etc. It is a great reminder for all of us in these uncertain times that God loves us and is watching over us. It is for sale in my Etsy store if you are interested. Blessings ~
