~~~~~~ Birthday Giveaway ~~~~~~

Today is my birthday and to celebrate I am giving away this little pot of daffodils.

To get in the drawer for a chance of winning is really simple.

Just post a comment telling me what flower you would love to see created in miniature.

And, if you have never seen them in miniature before, all the better.
Just let me know that as well :-)

Caveat lector - I may not attempt all these idea...
but if I do you'll be the first to know :-)

Well I have reached the grand old age of 42.

Now, that might not seem old to some of you, and I agree I have a long way to go yet.

I was 10 years old when Elvis died and I remember the day as if it were yesterday. He was 42 and I was 10. To me back then 42 seemed sooo old and now here I am at that age.

My Mom is a huge Elvis fan and, oh my, she was devastated.

I spent the entire day at school in tears…..I didn’t even know why I was crying.

After all I didn’t know Elvis. I was just crying because my mom was upset.

Back then, my Mom was only 33 but I remember being really worried that there were less than 10 years till she was 42.

Of course I can laugh about it now....a lot... but back then it really worried me.

We took my Mom to visit Graceland a couple of years ago and I was sure she’d go to pieces. I even joked with Mick that she might throw herself on his grave and refuse to leave. But she did so well….I was the one crying.

Anyhow, I think I’ll do a tad better than poor old Elvis…..fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches just ain’t my thing :-)

I’ve had a good 42 years and have no plans to stop. I don’t feel old and hopefully I don’t look that old and haggard yet :-)


So, get those comments coming…..I will pick a winner at random by the end of the week.

And rest in peace dear Elvis.



He was pretty hot huh :-)
