Congratulations Boat Card

This card was inspired by an incredible card designed by Stampinat1623 and can be seen at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1351469

My card used different designer paper, different colors and I added a yellow flag. Hers is really beautiful with the buttons, however I did not have any buttons to match my color scheme.

Don't know what these are called - but have become a favorite in my garden


Iris

I love iris. They bring back fond memories of when I was a child. My mother had hundreds of them and they lined the driveway.

Golden Chain Tree



This is my golden chain tree. I refer to my 50th birthday as the "golden jubliee" so when staff at work gave me a gift certificate for a nursery on my birthday, I purchased this tree to commermorate (by the way that was 5 years ago). For your information, it is my rule that when you turn 50 the golden jubilee is not just one day - it lasts from then on out.
