While I was out yesterday dodging rain drops I noticed that several shoots were popping up all over. I think the previous owner planted a ton of bulbs. It's going to be a colorful surprise. Yes, we were here last spring but still trying to get the house settled so we didn't notice all the plants. I'm looking forward to watching the yard unfold it's vibrant offering.
I finished the Spring/Easter card and am getting it ready to send out tomorrow. It has turned out to be quite full! Here's the front...
And the first two page spread with the card that opens to a 3D bouquet and card with poem...
And here's the middle two page spread with a poem card and notebook...
And finally, the last two page spread with the Flower Diary and poem card...
Here are the poem cards...
Remember the added four page spread had two top pockets. I made envelopes for each one and they hold the supplies to make one each Tulip Quilt Block Mug Rug...
All in all, I am really happy with how this turned out. Tomorrow, back to the Slow Making Journal.
Other plans today include making supper. I have decided on a savory pie with beef, potatoes, carrots, peas and corn in a tasty gravy. Just writing about it makes me hungry!
I noticed the increase in prices yesterday...gas...it cost $89 to fill up SnowWhite (but she was really empty). Then at the grocery store I could not believe how much soda, kitty litter and cat food turned out to be. Granted there were multiples but it was even more than the gas! A couple months ago it would have been half that! Think that there will be several meatless meals and a lot less soda in the future.
How are you guys doing with the increased costs? I am thinking about looking for less expensive meals...make that cheap! And forget about clothing or craft items. Going to be on a very strict budget for the time being. I'll share more money saving ideas from now on...looks like we will all need them.
For now, stay safe, enjoy your day and do something you love to do...
Talk with you tomorrow...
