I have created this wall hanging using a wooden clip board.  Graphics 45 imagery is complimented with lace trims.  I have embellished with grunge board flourishes painted with gold acrylics, and adorned with paper flowers from Martha Stewart Living.  I have selected taupe-toned ribbons attached to the board's clip.  Hugs, Gayle.

LAST BLOOMS OF SUMMER


Hello friends!  Soon the snow will fly here in our portion of Canada so I want to share some of my last blooms of summer.  Many of our hardier flowers are still blooming despite the fact that we have had a couple of nights of frost.....we simply go out early and hose them down with cold water, to save them.  But each day now brings us closer to hard frosts, and we are actually expecting that to begin happening within the next few days.  I will miss the beautiful show of summer color but the Fall shades of the large Oaks that surround our area will be another bit of eye candy before the scenes of  shocking bright and white snow that will follow.  I hope you will enjoy a few of the flowers I am sharing here.

 Thank you for visiting and I hope you have enjoyed the flowers and our little family of stone ducks. Hugs, Gayle.
