I am so excited!

I found a great designer to do my banner and watermark for my blog. Her name is Dina Kowal and she has been just fabulous to work with!!! She only had to edit it twice and I only asked her to change the flowers that she used (because I so love daisy's!) anyways soon I will have my banner up and I just cannot wait!

Dina's Blog is over to the right under Stampin Blogs that I Enjoy!, and I hope she gives me something so that you can just click on an icon that mentions she made the banner??? We'll see. It won't be long now.

Have a super day!

Pretty Flowers

I took some pictures of some of the plants and flowers that Troy and I planted earlier in the season. I had to dig up the yellow flowers because they don't do well in warm temperatures (the purple flower at the top is what replaced the yellow flowers). We were lucky though because Ellis Garden Center here in Georgetown really had some great plants and flowers on sale!!! Here are some of the pic's that I took. The rose bushes were planted in March and the first things that we put out. I am so new to gardening but it is so wonderful and rewarding to see this pretty pink rose when I walk out front.

Introduction

I'm just Stephenie, well I'm not just Stephenie. I'm a wife, mommy, daughter, friend, lover, you get the hang of it:o) I have found something new that I love and so enjoy to do and that is paper crafts. All of them, whether it is cards to send in the mailbox to brighten someones day or a scrapbook page that reflects a memory on paper to something funky like a purse made of paper to hold neat things. All of it is so much fun to me and I am looking forward to creating some wonderful projects and meeting some great people along the way. I welcome any and all advice, ooh just try to be nice. I tend to be overly sensitive.
have a super day!~
