| A look at my mantle... |
 |
| I save my greeting cards and have many. I can't bear to throw them away... |
 |
| I added a few other things to add interest... |
 |
| My sweet neighbor kids gave me this box filled with candy, many years ago. They are all grown now, and I still remember and cherish their generosity. I am so fortunate to receive all this love, and hope I can give as much back. 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |
 |
| This is an "Apple Blossom" Amaryllis... |
 |
| This was a surprise blossom because I was very afraid that I had killed my bulbs. I left the pot that they were in outside very late into the fall this year. We had several frosts while the pot was out there, bad me... |
 |
| When I did bring it in, it sat there for a while and all of a sudden it started sending up new leaves. All the previous ones had died off. |
 |
| So then, I left it go and the leaves got pretty long. |
 |
| All of a sudden a flower bud starts coming up.... |
 |
| I am delighted! |
 |
| And so relieved that they are all still alive, after all! ~~ See my post below about the free photo editing sites and a link to the information on that.~~ 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |
 |
| I have heard of Picnik (picnik.com) being mentioned many times here on lots of blogs. I decided to try it today... This is the result. I have to say it's easy to use and I can take the pictures from here on my computer and not have to send them to a photo storage site. I like that... Unfortunately, Picnik will end on April 19 and will go to Google +. I will deal with that later, for now I'll enjoy this! Lol Give it a try... 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |
 |
| I made these gingerbread houses a few years ago, for Valentine's Day. |
 |
| They were really cute! |
 |
| There's still time to do this! |
 |
| If you want to... |
 |
| Some of you may remember when I made the baby quilts for the Brigham & Womens Hospital in Boston. They are for the NICU and are given to the little preemie babies that are there. |
 |
| The sewing store that I go to sponsors this program and provides the materials. They make the kits up and all I have to do is sew them together. |
 |
| I believe this is a worthy cause and worth my time to help out. Last year I made 54 little quilts for the program. It makes me happy to be able to contribute my time and effort. ~~On another note: I have been remiss in welcoming my new followers... Welcome to all, I hope you enjoy my blog and will come back often. I love meeting new fellow bloggers and making new buddies! ~~ 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |
 |
| I made this cottage from a kit. I changed the design some, to make it my own. I gave this to my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. She has it displayed in her living room for all to see. |
