Lavender... Deep purple, fragrant, beautiful


The beauty of summer gardens is endless.  Bloom after bloom of the many varieties of plants is to be enjoyed and ogled.  Not to be outdone, these vibrant, purple beauties are stunning.  This variety of lavender is so much deeper than my other plants, despite my belief that  I had planted all the same variety.  Perhaps the earth is richer here?  Maybe there is more sunlight?  Maybe I simply bought a different variety and forgot? 



Either way, they are striking both in the garden and as cut flowers.  I'm looking forward to seeing how these beauties hold up once they are dry. 


The fragrance... Oh, such powerful scent from a delicate creature. 

Have a good day.

Donald Duck Layout

Good day.  
Here's a busy layout with our favourite pal, Donald Duck.  
Although I usually prefer clean, simple layouts, I must admit that I really like this one.  I made it as a shadowbox frame for my son - who is a huge fan of Donald Duck.  The layout depicts each time the two have met.
