We had a nice day on Mother's Day. Some family came over and we barbequed some burgers on the grill. Ate some chips and potato salad and played some yard darts.
Here's a few shots of the day's happenings.
I'm kinda moving backwards here but I received the prettiest little rose bush for Easter. I re-potted it and it's been sitting outside my back door ever since. I think it likes it there too, look at the pretty roses it has produced. They are a real pale pale yellow, like creamed colored.
The chipboard flourish is from my stash. The sentiment is from Waltzingham Mouse. I stamped a little swirly on the envelope too. Hope she liked it.
And last but not least is a wooden sign that I made tonight. It turned out pretty cute, actually I really like it. I used a piece of wood I had hanging 'round the house and painted it with one coat of white paint, very lightly. After it dried I sanded it down a bit. I distressed the edges and printed the word 'tea' on it and then banged it up with the hammer. Just love it. As a matter of fact, I am going to make some more so if you'd like one, let me know. They sell for $19.95 and you can order one right here. I can print other words on them as well, like your favorite fruit or veggie, a name, etc. The background can be a different color too but it has to be light or you won't see the words. If you have different preferences about the background color and the printed word, just send me an email and let me know what you'd like.
