One Tomato, Two Tomato, Three Tomato More

Hi! I am in from the garden with another batch of tomatoes and peppers. They took a while to get going this year (weather I am thinking), but now they are really producing.  Since my hubby can't eat tomatoes (yes, sad, I know), I am freezing a lot of them as I can't eat them all myself.  They will be great when the winter chill hits and I want a touch of summertime!

My nieces and nephews also gave me a Chia Pet herb garden.  I was skeptical, to put it mildly, but the basil, parsley and dill are growing well.  I am off to transplant them now in larger pots, just like I grow my herb garden in the yard.  I am hoping they continue growing.  It is really a fun experiment.  I will share a picture and let you know how they turn out.

Hope you have a great day.  Since I have been away at the blogging conference, I haven't gotten my fingers inky in a while.  I hope to remedy that tonight and have more stuff to share with you.

Mother Nature In Her Glory

Hi, guys!  Hope all is well!  I am excited today, as I finally picked this!

I have been waiting for a tomato to turn red, and I am looking forward to eating this.  I have about 30 green ones sitting there teasing me, so hopefully they will all do their magic soon!  I thought I would share another picture with you.  I am amazed at Mother Nature sometimes.  One of her critters must have dropped some seeds in the middle of my side yard, and look what grew!

There are 3 purple cone flowers as tall as me now.  (Please excuse the picture of me, as my hubby thought it was a fun picture, and I am in my yard clothes!)  But it is fun to see how tall they are growing.  I'm staking them today as they aren't able to stand up by themselves anymore.

Now, for a card.   I was asked to make a sympathy card for a friend.  She needed one made for a man who lost his wife.  Having been in that position, I took time to think about how I wanted to make it.  I decided to go simple and easy.   I remember being overwhelmed with the long dramatic poems after awhile when I was barely functioning.   I kept the sentiment inside very simple.  My friend liked it when I gave it to her.  I hope it brings some comfort.

Supplies:
Paper: The Ink Pad NYC, Imaginations-Gingham
Ink: Stampin' Up
Stamp: Greenbrier International
Misc.: True Hemp Hemptique, Oval Punches

I hope you have a great day!

Green Thumb and Inky Fingers

Hi, guys!  Hope your weekend was a great one.  My hubby and I were busy around here.  We worked in our garden and also continued work on my stamp room.

I thought I would share with you some pictures of my garden.   This year I decided to grow some veggies in pots.  I am excited to see that my tomatoes are really growing nicely.  I also planted an herb garden.  I also am happy that so many flowers are in bloom right now.

I have been asked to show how my stamp room is progressing.  I have a picture of my new desk that my hubby assembled for me.  It is from IKEA.  As you can see, the room is a work in progress.  I will be sharing pictures of the completed room soon, I hope.  I got the chair from Staples.  It is a Sealy Posturepedic chair.  I figured I needed to be comfy while I stamp.  It was very reasonable in price, and I could adjust it to my needs.  I have an OTT light now on my desk.  I love it.  I will share the rest of the details when we are finished.

Thank you to my hubby for writing a post for me on Sunday while I was working on my room.

Have a great day!  Hope you find a few moments in the day to do something you love!I
