sweet land of liberty

 

Finished my fairy garden last night.  Its so cute!   My friend Brenda and I went to Sarahs yesterday and got all our plants and some other little tidbits to put in the miniature gardens with them.  so much fun!

I decorated mine this morning for memorial day! lol!

what???  doesnt every one make tiny little patriotic banners to sting in their fairy gardens???

 

Here is the garden before memorial day decorating!  

(I should have bought that snail Brenda!  now I'm going to have to make one!)

such fun!

well, I hope everyone has a great day today,.  We are heading out this afternoon to the beach for a picnic.  

unfortunetly, I am really not feeling well and had even considered canceling.  but I know it'll be nice to relax on the beach later.. so if I can just get past making and packing all this food... it hopefully will be worth it. 

I really would like to just lay down on the couch and go back to sleep.. but you know I wont.

Happy day girlie pies!

playing around

I just love playing around with Picmonkey photo editing!  I planted flowers and played in my yard yesterday, which is in terrible need of a lot of attention..  But, when I tried to get some pictures, everything looked so blaah!  so I doctored them up!

My house is old and pretty beat up and in need of scrapping and painting.  its isnt however stained like I made it look in these pics.  But I love how it looks this way! lol

I didnt use the flower pics because they just didnt have much character..   Maybe in a couple weeks when they have filled in a little more.  I still have a lot of work to do out there today, but I really am not feeling well at all, and Im not sure I'll get back out there.   I have a head cold that is kicking my butt.  not to mention that my whole body is a bit achey from working out there yesterday.  Ive taken three tylenol and drank 4 cups of tea since 5:30 this morning.. its almost 9:00 and Im still feeling pretty foggy!

I probably have told you before that I really dont like gardening.   I dont.  I do all container gardening.  I still need to do my fairy garden.. hmmm.. I just inspired myself to feel better for a trip to brockport to sarahs garden shop, where Im sure I'll find perfect fairy garden plants!!    (I'll just have to take my box of vicks kleenex with me!)

Definitely need to feel better for tomorrow.. beach day with the family for memorial day!   I bought myself a new beach chair and I have patriotic paper plates, cups and napkins!   I cant wait to play with torry and marlaina in the sand!  I bought Torry a little chair for the beach too.

 

I dug out my bin of patriotic decorations.  I dont have many!  maybe I should work on that.  hoping to put them out later today.  I have a miniature memorial day parade in my brain!   hmmmm.... !  Gosh, I wish I felt better though!  oh well.. things to do, things to do, things to do!

 I think I hear thomas the big white stray cat mewing at my front door for his breakfast and I am now inspired to at least get dressed, so off I go!

have a lovely day everyone!

i got mail!

From Meri!!  Remember I won her give away a while back?  I was so excited because she is so talented!    It took me a couple days to pick out an image.  I was leaning towards something halloweenish, but I'm so glad I changed my mind and went for this sweet kitten.    and, this is no little kitten... Its really quite large!  I was very surprised!  not sure exactly where he will be living yet.. but i am thinking probably in my craft room where I can keep an eye on him!  He needs a name.... hmmmmmmm.. I need to think about that.

Meri sent lots of other goodies too!  she sent the Annalee chick above and a giant package of flower seeds!  ( I just so happen to be planning on doing some gardening this weekend... so great timing!)

She also sent a pile of vintage fabrics, these great trims...and a glittery black cat halloween garland!!

and... if all that isnt already enough... look what else was packed in that BIG box!  a wonderful sweet crocheted blanket for my babies and a great piece of white mohair that I will most definitely use to make a special bear! 

Really Meri, you spoiled me!  thank you so much!!!

So in other news.. this girlie pie is definitely under the weather.. SORE throat, headache and slight fever yesterday and last night.. not feeling any better today, though no fever right now.   I have to go to work though and spread my germs because I have things I have to do today.

and with that said.. I guess Id better get moving!

have a nice day
