All of the ideas you guys had for our pregnancy announcement/4th of July card were great, thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.

I was looking for a poem of sorts, and used one that chiroptera_mama came up with but added a little bit to it. It was perfect though, so thank you!!

Here's what I came up with to send out:

OOH!! That's awesome, Rita..*momentarily goes green with jealousy!* it sounds really pretty.. (I've seen your yard projects in other posts-it must be awesome to be surrounded by so much visual prettiness!) .. I"m only 10 mins away from the Whitestone Bridge, basically and yes. I didn't figure anything overwintered b/c we have had a LOT of snow and almost all my daylilies are above ground, so when it's cold.. they're COLD!.. that's why I kind of freaked at the leaf streak. I'm pretty sure I know which place I got it from, because I was clueless about rust last year and had no idea what it was, but in retrospect, I remember seeing it on just one of about 30 plants to start with and just figured it was okay, so at least in that case, I can sort of isolate where to not buy from. Cruddies dont' even bother me so much.. I'm usually pretty easygoing. I guess I was just afraid of having to throw things away and spend all this extra time/money on maintenance after convincing my husband so much that it made sense to spend all my hard earned income on lots of daylilies and the containers to hold them.LOL

How about planting a clemetis on the pole with the morning glories and black eyed susans on the left of the pole and echinechea(spelling?)on the right, creeping phlox under and where there is room put in some daffodil bulbs for all season color. Some creeping thyme around the stones. All of these are easy care and fill in quick and thick to keep the weeds down. Hope this helps.

While out taking care of the gr'kids at their place last wk while they were in school/preschool one day, we found a consignment shop...DH enabled me by finding two more pencil figurines...the angel caroler is a "Wang" 1993 (left side of mirror) & another 'Santa' (far right next to the tallest Santa) $3 each: What fun! & you can pack these away in a shoebox! LOL! Jeanne S. (not the long mirror tho...I'll hang it!) I attached a closer view of this angel from e-bay below...click on link. Here is a link that might be useful: 1993 Angel Pencil Figurine

Deardre, I am SO pleased that my post was useful to you. I have wondered if posting it was just an ego-trip, or might be useful to others. I hope you will let us know how your project turns out. Raehelen, The link deardre posted is to my retrofit. FYI: my upper cabs are 15'' deep, and the door angles so that 24'' D-shaped shelves worked for me. You will need to measure carefully to decide what is your best fit. Also, I urge you to consider the vertical space between shelves. So often a LOT of space is wasted when an additional shelf would be much more efficient. And with the susans, you don't need to be able to reach INTO the space--you just pluck items from the front!! You might have to store seldom used stuff on the top two shelves and use a stool to access them, but that is found space, and I can reach every inch of the bottom two shelves from the floor. I sure could not do that pre-susans. If I can be of any use to you, let me know. Sandra This post was edited by Bellsmom on Tue, Jan 15, 13 at 22:17

That is awesome! You have a great eye for design.

What software did you use to design it - it looks super!

Thanks!

It's actually a digital scrapbook program called Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Designer.

It's really user friendly. I use it for cards rather than scrapbooking though.
