Broken stairway
Took a walk with hubby last week, exploring a trail off Squalicum Blvd, and ended up walking a bit through a neighborhood along the edge of the hill, and down a trail that ended in an intriguing old stairway. We weren’t sure exactly where it ended, other than down on the same level as our car.
Party Treats
I made these at the last minute for the Valentines party our art group held today…
Giftie is a decorative clip with valentine sentiment ticket in a 2×2 baggie attached to a Pure Heart bag of tea. “You’re my cup of tea” is stamped on the decorative paper header .
I’d already cut the headers for the 2×2 baggie and was going to just stamp a valentine greeting. Then came across the “You’re my cup of tea” stamp and decided to add the tea bag, even though the header was now too small. oh well! 😉
It’s stapled together with a little gold staple.
Simple but fun, and I didn’t arrive empty handed. 🙂
The River Walk
Photos from our recent stay at Rasar State Park… and walking the path to the river.
This fern topped stump looked like a creature sitting beside the trail. Can you see his face?
I love walking along trails bordered by moss covered trees and ferns… you can feel their energy.
No time left
I have all these valentine cards to make and I’m out of time. And I don’t really care. What would happen if I just didn’t make them? Would the world fall apart?
I guess the problem is that I have been thinking of my girl, and all the fun little stuff I’d send her for valentines, and it makes me a bit melancholy. And I just can’t get into the valentines for everyone.
So there.
That’s not totally true. I do have valentines for my honey and my son.
See… I’ve made myself feel better about it already. 🙂
Garden of early February
It’s gray today (the usual for my day off) with tiny sprinkles of rain. Perfect weather for checking out the garden to see if any early spring blooms have appeared. Here’s what I found:
Oregon grape in front next to house just starting it’s blooms… the hummingbirds love it.
Snowdrops peaking out from underneath the sage plant… ignore the weeds… it’s too early for me to be cleaning up. Our winter birds love to scratch and feed on seed heads.
Pick a Theme
I occasionally join a Pick a Theme swap on atcsforall.com, where our “group” of five each picks their theme of choice, and we all make a card based on their chosen theme. I’ve picked winter moon and am excited to see what arrives. Here are my offerings for the swap:
