CONFESSION TIME!

My husband got me a BEAUTIFUL new camera for Christmas and my confession is that....

IT HAS TAKEN ME ALMOST THREE MONTHS TO LEARN HOW TO USE IT!!!!

It is the Nikon 3100 and the consumer tag lines go on and on about how easy it is to use!!!!

WELL.....not so much for this TECHNOLOGICAL GEEK!!!

Finally, some new pictures to show you taken from my new camera!!  Hooray!!!!

These are some paper flowers made from pages of old music hymnals.....they were inspired by Laurel of Chipping with Charm (and charming she is!).  

I made some pretty garlands from my paper flowers and they will be available for sale at

Okay, enough of the computer and camera play time.....I'm off to nap before my nightshift....

SPRING IS COMING!

My friend Tracie at Fishtail Cottage is having a Garden Post day which is JUST what I needed on this blustery day (my goodness I just heard the forecast.....wind warning, rain and hail expected here today)!!!   Here is a little garden pink to remind us all that spring IS on its way!!

Please visit Tracie's blog for links to lots of inspiring garden posts.

Springtime is the land awakening.  The March winds are the morning yawn.

Here's a little peek at some file folders that I covered with music sheets.  An "inspiring" storage solution!
