weekend spark - gardening?!?!?

I wandered round my house three times this morning debating what I never thought I would own. Nothing was particularly unusual for me, then I spotted it. My garden’s starting to flower and caught my eye – “well I never thought I’d have one of those” I thought. Then I spotted the gardening and cookery books. Okay, the cook books are Spouse’s (I DO NOT cook!!) but the gardening ones are all mine. No one was more surprised than me 5 years ago when we moved house when I found a carefully hidden love all all things botanical. And now I’ve a book collection to go with my tools, gloves & wasp jars!

I think I’m getting more comfortable with this AJ thing, the scrapbooking stuff’s starting to creep in!! I’ve been deliberately avoiding SB products, I don’t want this journal to look like a book of mini layouts! Two patterned papers, acrylic paint (natch!) a silk flower and some pretty ribbon….I think it’s starting to look more like me!! Not that I’ve a blossom for a head or anything…..... :)
