HEDGEHOPPER

Hi Everyone

So Easter has nearly come and gone :-(    ... .. . ...  but let's not be too sad .. .. another long bank holiday weekend is just around the corner and is going to follow very soon!!  In fact in three days time .. woo hoo!!!

Today has been another day of gardening jobs  .. ..  but it was just a bit too sunny for the heavy digging we need to do so instead hubby painted a couple of fences and I have sown seeds for putting into the greenhouse.  Runner beans, courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and lettuce.    I have never grown peppers before so that should be interesting.  Then just so I had at least some flowers about the place .. .. some marigold flowers.

I bet the marigolds will raise their little heads first.  They grow likes weeds really don't they?  LOL!!!

Then of course no day is complete without making at least one card!!

This one is for a friend to send to her Grandson .. .. I think the image is just perfect for a card that needs sending abroad.





This used:
Image:  Penny Black "4126K" Hedgehopper
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Crystal Stickles
Cord from the Stash Box

So hubby is back at work tomorrow for three days then he has 10 days off.  Oh dear .. .. that is going to ruin my routine!!!

I see Mr Blogger didn't sort out the spacing problems over the holiday .. .. but I will let him off .. .. there were lots of things I didn't do either.

Enjoy what is left of Easter Monday and I will catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    Crisp, bright and gorgeous. Your card is fabulous.

    I love to work in the garden too. I wish we had enough space for a greenhouse. Well maybe one day....if I win the lottery :)Being able to grow your own vegetables and lots of flowers...seems heaven to me :)
