    Hi again Erin, I just saw your doily bowl post. Wow! You were certainly inspired! I can't believe you just used regular school glue and didn't even water it down? I have a doily somewhere that actually turned out more like a bowl than a doily so I need to try this process. I just gotta find where I put it first. Thanks for sharing! Best wishes, Tammy

    Such beautiful photos. They reminded me of the dogwood tree that was at my childhood home. It bloomed in light pink petals, that I would collect when they fell on the ground. Thanks for that memory.... Have a great week.

    Hey that is our provincial flower. I never appreciated them before, but you make them look nice!

    My fondest memory of living in Tennessee was Springtime, especially the dogwoods and redbuds blooming beneath the canopy of trees. So incredibly gorgeous. Thanks for reminding me of that. ;-)

    Taking my breath away as usual. We are just starting to see a few daffodils now but no dogwoods.
    I'm not complaining....last yr the daffs went by too fast.
