Here's my contribution for today, a antique black and white photo with a touch of floral color.  The vase was my mother's, a gift from my father.  The peonies were from my Dad, unfortunately I moved last October and they were not able to be dug up, how I will miss them and have to replant new ones.  Have a wonderful day, praise God for all the beauty around us and all his wonderful gifts.  Blessing, Michelle

Here's a few of the cards I've been making lately, enjoying creating.

Hope you've had a great day!  Sunny and 70's, did lots of planting outside and adding peat moss to gardens and transplanting and seed sowing, whem, I'm beat.  Blessings, Michelle

Texture Tuesday and Seasonal Bouquet Project

I have two places I'm linking up with today.
One is Kim over at Texture Tuesdays.  http://www.kimklassencafe.com/thecafe/texture-tuesday-wise-words-edition-a-give-away.html  Head on over and check out all the beautiful photographs.  I used Kim's Coffeeteaorme texture today and really like the painterly feel it gave to the photograph.

The other link up is with  Erin (Floret) and Jennie {Love ‘n Fresh} with their new "Seasonal Bouquet Project".  You can read all about it on their blog:  https://theseasonalbouquet.wordpress.com/.

I found this pretty cut  crystal  basket vase at an antique barn several years ago and I just love it, it's fairly large, I also picked up a real small one too.  Not much to choose from other than daffodils for blooms and a couple fillers.  Tuplis should be blooming next week, can't wait.

Here's some of the players in today's arrangement.  I planted quite a few different varieties last fall and am enjoyng seeing each of them come into bloom.  So here's a few close-up portraits of each.

Have a fantastic day.  Blessings, Michelle
