Gardening

Heres some zuchinni and yellow squash from our garden.  Its such a rewarding experience to plant seeds, nuture them and see the results.  We've already had strawberries, well those that aren't allergic.  My tomatoes are getting flowers on them too and my sweet potato bush is so pretty.  Unfortunetly, some of my tomato plants died from our heat wave but I still have three left.  Less than what I normally grow.

I used the new Rhonna Farrer app to dress up my photo.  Its only $1.99, bought for my iphone and is really fun/easy to use.

LO using borders

This is our DD in 1999.  I used my MS punch to create the border on the photo..

LO challenge using a shape

I chose the heart shape.  This is our Shitzu, Trixie.  I used to call her Trixie Doodle Doo.  She was an awesome dog and I really miss her, my constant companion..  Bought her at a pet store, she was the most active one.  And she matched my coat I was wearing at the time, even fit in the pocket.  A bundle of fur that was a joy to me.

My New Storage

 Heres how they arrive.. You have to put them together.  Was easy to do!
Lookie what my DH bought me.... He's the best!!!  Aren't they pretty!!  Now I just need to fill them up with my scrapgoodies and mark whats in each one so I'll be able to find everything.  Theres a total of 8 organizing cubes, 4 in each stack.  I still need 12 more cubes and then I'll have everything put away in these.  I bought them at Go-organize.com with free shipping.  You can get them with coupons at Michaels crafts but their more expensive there.  And Hobby Lobby has 6 to pick from, you can use coupons there too.  The best part is their the same price as the ones I have here but Go-organize.com has more styles to choose from, which includes the glass door organizers.  And you can choose the organizing cubes you want and place them in their program so you can see what it will look like and how much it will cost.  Thats how I picked mine.  {when you get to their site, click craft storage and then the color white, then click products and a drop down window will have all the styles you can pick from.. click the one you want, then grab and drag to the right.}
