It's been awhile hasn't it?! I know it's been a year since I've posted to my blog, but I have been soo busy. I just had too many things going on and now that I've done a little pruning, I hope to have the time to blog more. I just tried to do too many things (hello, I'm a Gemini), and all of them were fun, but didn't leave me enough time to re-fresh my creative spirit. Okay, enough of that!
I hope you all had a lovely Mothers Day! I had a great day hanging out with my hubby, daughter, son-in-law and my precious grandchildren. The saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers" and it was so true on this Mothers Day. My daughter brought me a gorgeous star gazer lily that is still welcoming me every morning with a fragrant hello. And since my garden was ablaze with the scent of jasmine and roses galore, I picked myself this glorious bouquet! I had to take some pics to share and scrapbook. Hope you enjoy!
Every one of these beauties came from my garden!
Some tips for keeping your cut flowers looking good:
Start out using a pinch of flower food like the ones in the above photo, in your vase of water.
Cut fresh tips on each flower so it can drink up the water easily.
Remove leaves from the bottom part of the stem that will most likely be submerged in the water.
Here's probably the most important tip: change the water EVERY day! This will remove most of the bacteria that is growing in the water and keep your flowers looking happy for a long time!
,This is the life! My beautiful garden, babbling fountain in the background, a fave magazine and my big kitty Simba! I love this time of year!
A cute card and ornament I designed for a workshop at home using Close to My Heart stamps. I'm a consultant for CTMH.
Isn't this the sweetest little ornament?! I found the plain little chipboard boxes for 25cents each at Junque Trunk, a really cool flea market in Tustin, CA. Junque Trunk is sponsored by Whimzy, an equally awesome brick and mortar store that sells incredible vintage goodies!
Thanks for stopping by!
