That tea cup in the picture was almost my cup for today but then along came the cute stamp. It's so dang cute and perfect size so it jumped into my card, YAY!<br />The calendar is colored and tried for a fall look. Needs more fun added to it but will do for now. <br />Thanks so much for visiting and your sweet comment. My days are pretty boring and same routine but I love it and my family when they are here so much. Thankfully tomorrow is a babysitting day so the pictures will be of cute little ones! <br />I also snuck and made a mandala at my sister's and if it's on my blog tomorrow just skip over it or act surprised next week, haha! <br />dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-61746703297590625562013-09-10T12:21:30.283-05:002013-09-10T12:21:30.283-05:00also wanted to mention...

I always seems to have loads of those and always wondered if the seed packets were "contaminated" or if it was the soil. Squirrels also seem to like to dig in the pots so that could be a factor.<br /><br />Congrats on winning washi tape from ink stains!

Sorry that some didn't turn out as planned, each year is a surprise I say, just like us this year. We got lucky on the Sunflowers, not so on the watermelon. Our corn was good but not the best it's been in past. <br />Fruit does take longer, we thought our apples would come in but they didn't. <br />I'm not sure what that plant is either, sorry. <br />Thanks so much for walking us thru and updating us on how your plants turned out. <br />Happy almost Tuesday, see you with my post tomorrow.
