I have no idea what this is, but again it's beautiful!

Mom says its a pincushion! it looks like it!

My garden is coming alive

Being in Maryland has a draw back on some flowers. Lilies are just starting to bloom. I'm sure there is a formal name for this flower and I am sure that Wicked Gardener can tell us what it is. I just think it is beautiful and know it is in the Lily family.

card for my youngest grandson

Using my cricut new arrivals and beyond birthdays I made this card for my grandson who will be 3. Jr loves Thomas the train, so I made the train moving through a tunnel.

1. Stamp card stock to look like a tunnel.

2. You need to cut a strip in the lower part of the card and attach a "dot' to each train car and to a button on the other side of the dot. Put the button in the groove of the slot you cut.

3. Attach the cars with a black strip and brads.

4. Glue a strip of black paper larger than the slot to disquise the slot.

This may be my last picture of the baby robins

I went to take pictures today and all of the baby birds flew out of the nest and I was able to take a picture of George on the ground. I am not sure how long they will be around now that I know that they can fly. It is a bittersweet day.

simply seaside collection cards

These are greeting cards from my simply seaside collection. Stamped and just a touch of water color pencil.

Greeting inside as desired.

Wicked Gardener gets it from me!

This is honeysuckle. I love the smell of honeysuckle in the spring. I wish it would last all summer! This picture is dedicated to Wicked Gardener. She didn't know it but she gets her skills with photos and gardening from me :)

They are soooo Big!

I am simply amazed at the speed at which these birds are growing! This is the first time I have actually been this close to baby birds and watching them grow is awesome!
