New Blog Look, and More!!

Happy Monday!!

We are having extremely warm weather for this date!!

It's fooling us into thinking it's summer!!



I hope you all had a great weekend!!



I was pleasantly surprised the other day, with an unexpected package from Dolly, at http://frommycherryheart.blogspot.com/ She saw this book in an antique store, and apparently thought of me. She sent it to me along with this really cute tag that she made. Now how sweet is that? I'm telling you bloggers are amazing people!! Thank you Dolly!! I can't wait to dive into this book!!
I'm sure you have noticed the new look on my blog.
Well, let me tell you about it. First of all I know nothing about creating with the computer. I can do artwork all day long, but when it comes to computer stuff, not good!
Talking about how nice bloggers are, Ashley Draper, http://thedraperhouse.blogspot.com/ decided I needed a prettier blog, so she took it upon herself to do this for me, along with some help from her friend Amber, at http://theshabeechick.blogspot.com/. Isn't that the nicest thing? Ashley and Amber are both web/graphic design girls. They are amazing!! Thank you so much girls!! I love the new look!!



Now, yesterday I was in search of a rose bush called Cecil Bruner. The name given to me by my friend Barbara. She had some of these tiny pink roses on the counter at her shop. I fell in love with them immediately. So of course I had to go and find them. Well the usual nursery that has everything, didn't have it. They assured me they could order it, and I would get it next week. Yay!! Meanwhile, I had to check at the other nursery across town to see if they had one. They did not, but they had this beautiful bust. It was love at first sight. I have been wanting something like this for awhile. Well I just had to have her.
I thought she would be the perfect model for my crowns!!
This morning I decided she needed a name, and it had to be French of course. So I came up with Angelique. It's French, pretty, and remember the show Dark Shadows, need I say more? (You won't remember that show if you are under the age of maybe 43 or so)

Anyway I think she is great!! I can't wait to make a crown for her. You see, I don't have any of my crowns. They always seem to leave my house for other homes too fast!! (That's a good thing though) Have a great day, and I promise to get around to visiting your blogs as soon as the glitter and glue dries on my latest project.

Thanks again to the kind people out there in blogland!!

Love,
Rosemary
