the flowers are out!

many times i have expressed to friends and family how grateful i am that the old lady that lived here before me LOVED perrenials. all around my house there are poppies, irises, roses, lillies and a peony bush!!

since i am not too good at growing things, i will refrain from showing you the sad, lame little plants that i am trying to grow. things were going pretty good until The Boy, seeing candy on the kitchen counter decided to make the climb. and the basil took a dive onto the kitchen floor. theyre still alive but not growing as heartily as before.

and then theres this, that i crafted for Rachel's after prom party. we both agreed that she would be tired of the fancy dress and cute (read: painful) shoes by late evening and would definitely want to change her clothes. we decided this would still convey the festive mood but in a much more comfortable way.
