Growing

Spring is finally here and all of my flowers are starting to bloom!

My tulips are in full bloom, I love all the colors I planted last fall.

Begonia's for the front porch, it is what my grandma had on her porch every summer. 

 This is the Orchid that I have had since December, I can not believe that I have managed to keep it alive this long! It is blooming like crazy right now.

Happy Spring!

Mothers Day Gifts

Happy Mothers Day to all of you Mom's out there!

I spent some time last night making gifts for my Mom and Mother in law. Hopefully they don't see this before we go and visit! 1st one is photo cubes. These were made with wood blocks that were 3.5 x 3.5. I used mod podge to adhere the paper and the photos. The photos were printed on card stock, otherwise they would smear. 

 Once dry I sanded all of the edges, rubbed with brown ink, and embellished!

 I had all kinds of fun little cut out and words that were perfect for the cubes!

 Next gift is this photo shadow box. I basically made a scrapbook page and put it in this beautiful shadow box frame that I bought at Michaels.

 And last was the gift that I received from my wonderful boys! A Lisa Leonard Design!!! If you have not seen her work, be sure to check it out! She makes beautiful things!! I love this necklace and it is perfect to wear everyday!

Have a wonderful Day!!!
