Lovely lilacs







I had to get pictures of the beautiful and very fragrant lilacs the outline my new front yard. It had to have taken years for these bushes to grow up and out so nice. There are even THREE different colors! I love the most common light colored one but I am very intrigued by the dark colored one in the last picture. This is the first time I have ever seen one this dark.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful and safe Memorial holiday weekend celebrating our freedom given to us by our loved ones who have fought for us to have it.

Some things old become new again














This is my "new" birdbath! Incase you all havent heard, my daughter Karli and I have moved into a different house. Things being as they are we have been doing a lot of making old things new. This is an old globe or light fixture if you will that was left in our new home. It is so beautiful but so heavy, I am afraid to hang it. So I decided that as big as it is , it would look awesome as a birdbath. Soooooo using my Copic markers ( love my Copics) I colored the flowers and vines on the raised side of the fixture, then used Super Seal over it to preserve it. Then I sealed the hole in the middle with a gasket and bolt. The base, I found at an awesome store I visit when ever I can. I stood alone , so I inquired. The basin had been broken ..... so I was able to purchase for a very small fee. When the grass gets a little greener it well look even better in front of the lilacs.

Day 5



This page is done using the Curved rectangles and Large ovals dies from spellbinders. "Royalty" is actually a fabric iron on bling. I wouldnt recomend using things like this as I pretty much had to put this on gem for gem as it is not made for paper and packaged to go on easy.


Hope you have enjoyed all the wonderful ideas with this months Fab5 projects.
