So proud of my Celadine!/cutting gone AWOL
Comments (11)Hi Karen, I would be more than pleased to show you some more of our garden and the surrounds, but can you/someone help me? I have managed to work out how to post individual pix using Photobucket, and have helped others to do the same, but now I am stuck! I have seen on here other types of links to batches of pix...with a heading something like....'here is a link that might be useful' (I can't find a thread using this at the moment to get the exact wording, so this is a guess)as I suspect posting several of my pictures directly onto this forum would not really be not correct?? Any suggestions out there? Thanks for all the nice comments, and also thanks to John for his kind thought of slicing his precious cutting in half for me!! I am still awaiting the arrival of our son to see if the said rucksack and its contents has been re-united with him. More on that later! Bye for now, Greenclaws....See MoreOT:So Proud of Myself
Comments (7)Thanks everyone. I am hoping to keep the paint color the same, which is what used to be a kakki color. Don't know what the new name might be. I got a chip of paint and took it to wally world, but, it is too dark. So, I am going to take it back and see if he can lighten it up and if not, I'll just have to repaint the whole room, but still the same color. I don't have a plan. When Daddy came to live with us I bought a brown and tan with cream lace running thru it at K Mart. Jacklyn Smith. It looked manly, but I am using it b/c of cost. I'll just shooting from the hip on this one. I have some child hood things, jack-in-the box. a nice big long box of crayons, books etc. But I have darken the windows with back out drapes, underneath the blinds. On top of the blinds, I am using lace curtains, the ones that just come to the window sill. I Have pitcher and bowl sets, white pictures, and a yellow bowl and pitcher that belonged to my Grandmother. An old yellow tinted picture of cats that came from my Grandmothers, and a white framed picture that I had bought for Mama. The comforter has beige and browns and cream and some oranges. I used the browns and oranges for Daddy, but I think and am going to try to pick up bright yellow. When the lights go out, there is no light. That's the way I wanted it to be, so we could take turns getting sleep with Daddy at night. So, b/c it is so dark, the lamps and lights make a sweet glow, and I think the yellow would make it more feminine. All the furniture is solid wood, so that sets a manly atmosphere to some, but I love wood. I have an armless small leather bottom rocker that I am going to use, and a bright yellow printed quilt that I found. And some where there are going to be yellow roses!! This was the son's room of the previous owners. So, it is pretty boyish. I am taking the wallpaper border down from around the ceiling. That is making a real difference. Looks more feminine already. And I have some cream pillows that have lace and crochet, so I can probably find some yellow to throw in with them. That's all I have so far. In my mind any way, don't even have the furniture and we had a bad night and morning this a.m. with Daddy and we are not sure how the weather my be by tomorrow....See MoreOT- gifts for daughter and ex daughter in law
Comments (9)I gave these to my daughter in law today,and she almost cried,she loved them so much :) It's just photo quality paper,some free brushes d/l'd from the internet, some Easter grass or basket filler,some fine glitter glue,and I cut out the outline of them after the glue dried. I did add some jewels later,and a battery operated votive I stuck inside the lid with rolled up tape.I sort of curled the photos to make them the shape of the jar,the filler holds them up. I can't wait to find out how my daughter likes hers:)...See Moreot my daughters prom pics
