Heather's theme is "Wisdom you've learned from books". Since I love gardens and gardening I picked one of my favorite books. It is a collection of letters between a mother and daughter in England. The mother is an experienced gardener and her daughter is just beginning to plant her first garden at her new home. Quite charming!

5 1/2"x 8 1/2"

My pressed flowers

Butterfly is made of paper with seeds in it and you soak it and plant it in a pot and wait for the flowers to grow! Unique idea!!! I found it at the nursery.

Be sure and click on the photo for details.

I think this is one of my favorite pieces!

Simply had to try!!!!

I decided to add a paper collage.

Stamps added.

This is a picture of a pastel I did for an exercise in shapes and colors. It was of lemons. I decided to add a few pears and a green apple!

Photo I took and made into a postcard

If you look really closely to your left and down towards the bottom, you can see the moon going down!!!! That is why I took the photo early on a summer morning.
