Happy Halloween Everyone! I made a frame out of my artwork combined with PSE shapes. I think I’ve made some improvements in my digital skills since last Halloween. Koko is still playing the witch :-):

September/October Garden 2011

Wow, I completely forgot about my monthly garden post for September. The weather was so hot that I literally did not go out in my garden for the month of September – out of sight, out of mind I guess. So, I am combining the two months. I am featuring my front grove. The valencia oranges are ripe and ready for picking, they are very nice for juicing. Most of our valencias are the original trees planted nearly a hundred years ago. They are supposed to be one of the sweeter, better tasting kinds around:
And here are some Gold Nuggets that I planted – they will be ready in spring:
And, just thought I’d share, here is a photo of the Red Yucca pods. They are one of my favorite plants in my garden. When they are in bloom, the hummingbirds always make an appearance:

NDISB, Parisian Daydreams & QP Freebie
October 24, 2011 1 Comment
I was recently invited to join the Creative Team (CT) over at Natural Designs In Scrapbooking (NDISB). My first designer I got to work with was Tricia of Tricia Curtis Designs. Tricia has a wonderfully unique style, and I chose to “play” with her “Parisian Daydreams” Kit. Tricia has a fondness for everything French, and I (very long ago) lived and worked in Paris. Here is Parisian Daydreams:
Here is the first layout I made:
