Garden Corner

I went antiquing last week and found these cute cards. Some of you crafters may be able to use these.

I love this one because it folds back and you have his front side and back side. Could make a cute paper doll.

Here is the before of our little garden corner. We, mostly Hubby, dug out the grass and the clay soil. What a job. 

Last weekend we spent outside. We added good dirt and fixed our sprinkler system and started to plant the corner. We are not gardeners, but I'm trying my hand. I want to get a few more things to put in the corner. I'll share it's progress.

This is the opposite corner. We did this one last spring and you can see how much everything grew in just 1 year. The vine is wisteria and loses it's leaves in the winter, but it's starting to grow again. The Knock out roses are in full bloom and so easy to grow. Lambs Ears kind of went crazy. It's fun to see what happens to all the plants in a year. 

I know some of you are still in midst of yucky weather. I hope it clears up soon. We are off for a short vacation. See you next week!

This and That

I've been doing a little of this and a little of that. I found this cute vintage card at an Antique store yesterday and had to share. It's so springy-and that's what I'm looking forward to. Below a couple of thrifted finds. I'm going to glitter this kind of beat up sign and use it in my Valentines display.
I couldn't pass this adorable little doll chair at GW and I always pick up red and white tins. You can use them for so many things.
I'm in the middle of year end paperwork, making little chair slipcovers for newly painted kitchen chairs, and trying to get some crafting in too. I guess that's what January is all about. Taking stock and GETTING ORGANIZED! I really appreciate all of your comments . You guys had some great ideas on using the ME calendars. Now if I can just find the time....

Have a wonderful week!
