Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Hi Kids, I am finally getting around to posting my new pictures of my garage sale finds, ie; The Eiffel Tower pic, and The Flat Iron building in New York City. I got them for a really great price at a neighbors garage sale. I put them together with some framed artwork that I finished framing, and sorta-kinda put them up, but I am not quite finished yet! Not sure what else to do with everything, but I will get my inspiration soon to finish it! There are also pics of my corner garden of butterflies and birdhouses, attached to my tree branches, but I am not quite finished there either......I will be back,,,I promise! :) Later.........

Well I know I posted these pics of my flower garden on FB a while ago, but here they are on my blog, along with my magical dragonfly lights that I installed at the beginning of summer to add some dramatic effects to my garden! Hey, it is the only thing that keeps me from going totally insane, is to be able to work in the dirt and watch my flowers grow and look beautiful! I also actually have some tomatoes that are still green, but growing like crazy, that I gave to John for his Father's day/Birthday/Anniversary gifts. Three wonderful tomato plants, a pumpkin plant, and a zucchini plant. The later 2 plants have orange blossoms on them, so there might actually be some time left in this summer of ours, to grow a squash or two! We will see kids! Anyways, here are my pictures of everything! Keep enjoying this wonderful weather, Western Washington! Sooz :)
