My Hydrangeas
Hello my friends, Patti posting this morning from Virginia where we have had an early Spring and as such our flowers, grass and hay are growing and thriving! This is a picture of some of my dwarf hydrangea that we planted in our front bed a couple of years ago, they are one of my favorite flowers and I hope you enjoy them as well.
Can you believe we are in the second week of June with Father's Day this Sunday? I hope if your father is still with you that you have a wonderful weekend, my father passed away a few years ago and I still miss him so much but have wonderful memories of our time together. He was a Godly man who never met a stranger, with a sense of humor and a kindness for all.
This week we are sponsored by Digi Stamp Characters . You will find some lovely digital stamps in her store and so reasonably priced, so be sure and take a look around.
Here is a bit about Heather:
Hello you talented crafters!
My name is Heather Ellis and I live in Birmingham in the UK with my husband and two children.
I am a writer and illustrator and I come from a very creative family. I have always drawn ever since I can remember. I love creating cute characters and children are my inspiration and hope it shows in my work.
I hope you all enjoy using my characters in your card and scrapbook making. I always enjoy looking at all of your creations when you create with my images and I am always amazed at YOUR talents.
Enjoy creating!
Love Heather Ellis X
