The Texture of a Plant

This plant sits on our patio and I call it the "bad hair day" plant. I love the texture of this guy.



How does the b & w work? I'm on the laptop at home, not my usual computer.

Starfish and Seashells





These starfish and seashells are sitting in a basket on our coffee table. I bought them in Florida when I was there about a year ago. I very carefully wrapped them and carried them in my carry-on on the airplane and they survived the trip home! Every time I look at them they remind me of the beach and the ocean.

Flowers from the Market





More shots from the farmers market. I love fresh flowers, so I bought myself a bouquet. This vendor does such a great job of putting flowers together in a beautiful combination. The last macro shot shows the texture in these (not sure what they are).


Do you think the angle shot works on the vase of flowers?

Farmer's Market

I went to the Farmer's Market with a friend this past Saturday morning. I just love all the sights, sounds and scents and all the activity that happens there. We bought fresh produce and flowers, then headed for our favorite spot to get a freshly made gigantic cinnamon roll with lots of frosting. Oh so bad, but tastes oh soooooo yummy!

This is fresh dill - notice the texture of the plant. :)

Pink and Green



Here is more ribbon from my scrapping stash, haven't used it yet but it sure is cute! I like the pink, but this green is one of my favorite colors! I also like the vintage look of the rick-rack.

Another Mini Album

This is a little album I made for ds girlfriend as a graduation gift. Made with chipboard and Basic Grey papers. I used glitter, rhinestones and ribbon etc. to embellish it.













Colorful Ribbon

I can't resist buying a few rolls of ribbon whenever I visit the craft store. I love all the coordinating colors and patterns that are available. I use it for scrapping and gift wrapping. Don't you just love giving (and getting) a package wrapped with a beautiful ribbon?


My dad made this little shelf a few years ago for ds to display all his beanie babies. He doesn't use it anymore, so I hung it in my craftroom to store some of my ribbon rolls. The walls are a pale green color, so my photo has a green cast. Any tips to correct that?
