    Gothic arch book complete

    While the kids were gone at a birthday party today, I got busy making a cover for my ABC 7th Anniversary book. 

    One little issue…I miscalculated when I was going to punch the cover with my Bind-it-all.

    UGH!

    But look…amazing what sins a little lace will cover right!?!?

    I’ve been working on a bunch of these lately. Well…actually since before school let out.
    A few even sold on the garage sale….

    I gave the kids teachers each a pack of these as a end of school thank you gift. I’ve also given them as birthday, thank you and hostess gifts.

    Mid-summer garden update

    July 11, 2010 - By 

    So I’ve had great success with growth of our plants….but we’ve also had some pest issues. Such as DEER!!!
    Whitetail deer are beautiful creatures and can be quite yummy when prepared properly. 🙂
    All that aside…they are eating my plants!!! My hostas are down to nubs in the front and the buggers ate over a dozen green tomatoes right off the plants.

    The garden is right outside the backdoor…like 2 steps from the backdoor…with a motion sensor light. Seriously…they are not scared!

    The herbs and lettuce are above their reach with the rock landscaping below…thank goodness. The flat leaf parley is going crazy!!

    Check out my spider plant appendage. It’s different from anything I’ve ever seen a spider plant send out before. The only thing I can figure is that I’ve never had one outside before.

    The plants I’m going to over-winter in the house are going to be in for a bit of a shock!

    I was thinking today that I’m going to have to make quite a bit of room. I have 2 miniature roses, a hydrangea,  3 pots of herbs, a gerbera daisy and the crazy spider plant to bring in.  That would be in addition to the other 7 plants that already reside in our house.
