More Succulents

I love when I can use my stamps ans dies for making home decor as well as cards!  This little pot of succulents is so pretty on my desk and I won't kill it by forgetting to water it.

I found this flower ribbon in my stash as I was trying to clean out and organize this week.  It's retired but I don't mind.  Thanks for stopping by!

Jar of Love

Today I have another jar card to share, this one filled with flowers.  I have a large flower garden in my yard with a lot of perennials that bloom from early Spring through Fall.  When Sadie was about five she loved picking flowers and putting them in a vase for her room.  I would walk around the yard and help her pick one of each kind.  She caught me busy in the house and set out on her own once, she picked every single tulip and daffodil in the yard, even the ones not fully bloomed out.  She must of realized what she had done when they wouldn't all fit in her vase so she took her "leftovers" to the next door neighbor and gave them to her.  I couldn't get mad at her but did have a little talk about only picking a few and leaving some to enjoy later.  Thanks for stopping by!

Just a Note....

 

 

I am enjoying the stamps from the new catalog even if everything I do is a little crooked.  I made a little scalloped piece for the bottom of my main panel using one of the banners from the Fiesta Time Framelits  only to glue it on crooked.  I didn't notice it until I had photographed it but was too lazy to fix it and start  over.  I used the Falling Flowers and the Better Together stamp sets with the May Flowers Framelits.   Thanks for stopping by! 

Flowers for the Teachers

While I had the daisy die cuts out, I made this little flower pot as part of the end of the year teacher gifts for the kids to give to their teachers.  Don't you just love this ribbon...it was tied onto some tape I ordered online the other day.  I put it next to a piece of the Watermelon Wonder ribbon and it is the same exact shade.  But alas...I used every inch of it to make four of these flower pots.  This is just part of the gifts, I will show you the rest tomorrow!

Update:

We are still in Kentucky, I got to visit with some of my family yesterday.  I hadn't seen  one of my sisters nor my brother in 3 years so we had a lot of catching up to do.  They live in the mountainous region of Kentucky and yesterday on the way to their house we saw a black bear sitting in the middle of the road.  The kids went crazy with excitement and wanted to get out and pet it.  Of course we didn't let them but we did stop the car and watch him for about twenty minutes.  He had a sprite bottle that someone had thrown out and was trying to get into it.  He finally managed and he turned it up and drank it.  We had some crackers and the kids wanted to throw them out for him, it startled him and he ran off but not far.  He sat and starred at us for a while.  As we were on our way back he was out again and all the crackers had been eaten. We took some pictures and I hope to share them soon, the mountains make it hard to have Internet service and I haven't been able to have it long enough for my pictures to download.
