Brushes

After attending a digital class, taught by the best Diva, I am hooked on brushes. Mainly brushes because I know how to download and them use them. I can download anything but using it is another matter.
I have longed to venture into the digital scrap booking world. I will always have to cut and paste, touch and feel. But beginning able to take my lap top and create anywhere is a wonderful experience.
So all of that said. Enjoy the pictures with two digital frames and a brush to ink edges. This is so cool and a lot of fun .

Through My Garden Gate

Some years my backyard is just okay but sometimes it is some what unbelieveable. It seems that God has graced me with that latter this year. When I take my girls out in the morning, I just stop and stare. Often they are waiting for me to go back in.

My breded iris have been so beautiful. I have tried to grow these for many years. It was not until we took out some crepe myrtles that they really took off. I have one lilly that is called a lemon lilly. I do not know the latin name. My Granny gave it to me and said it came from the old Meriweather home place in Coweta county. It truly smells like lemons. My lambs ear is blooming with it's little purple flowers. Lambs ear is very special plant to me because it reminds me of a cocker spaniel's ear. It has that soft feel to it that I love. You can not beat the combination of my red knock out roses and the lime green spirea. They just go together. The little red knock out roses are such a hardy flower. They bloom from the first breath of spring until the cold, cold weather of winter.

I am very happy with my little backyard. Click: http://www.flickr.com/photos/missprissfollies/sets/72157618283667614/show/, to step through my garden gate.
