Memorial Day USA

All my neighbours know that I fly the American Flag on the special days for the USA. So here we are Memorial Day 2010 once again Lest We Not Forget all the men and women who gave their lives for us and our freedoms, both the US and Canadian Soldiers..

As a young girl I went to many a parade on this day, My Dad was a 60+ year veteran of the Second WW.. seeing all the flags at the cemetery was always a heart racer... and still is to this day..

Apple Blossoms

After many days of cold and rain it has finally turned nice and Nature is out in all it's glory. I spent a lot of time yesterday just watching the bees in the beautiful blossoms doing what bees do..there must of been about twenty five bees just flying around from blossom to blossom. I was thinking apples in the fall...Way to often we don't take the time to enjoy..

Sweet Pea Flowers

My mothers favorite flower was the Sweet Pea. I remember cutting them very carefully from the vine with a special pair of scissors there would be several large bouquets and I would often take them too the neighbours to enjoy the wonderful colors and fragrance. Thanks to Judy Marshall for the instructions I made these.

The first one uses the Top Note die (113463) Confetti White and Kraft/ Crumb Cake paper. The other card uses the Frame Oval Scallop Die (114521) Whisper White and Pretty in Pink paper with the stamp All A Flutter (118284).

Happy Mothers Day to all mothers

Hello Happy Mothers Day to all today. I don't have a mother to phone or to go see today but will be thinking of her. I remember as a little girl making her breakfast and taking it to her in bed. Many years later she told me that she really didn't like eating in bed as it made so many crumbs and was difficult but as moms do she pretended it was the best breakfast she had ever eaten...and it all tasted so Delicious... Love you and miss you MOM
