Thought yesterday I would have a day of crafting as I had some challenges I wanted to enter for Monday. I have the challenges ready and started and what was going to be one card turned out to be two so have a card ready for Wednesday's blog post.
I also have a love for orchids I tried for years to grow them and have given up lots of times, A really good friend gave me a lovely orchid at my husband Ron's funeral last year and its been in flower ever since. I now have 6 orchids in all and they are lovely. This one is the latest to flower. I have never seen this one before, my sister gave it to me and May does not know the name of it, so if anyone knows from these pictures I would love to know, The leaf is dark green with a very dark strip.
These flowers are the size of my thumb nail.

Hi Lilian! How lovely to see you in the Playground - I think your first visit was in August so am delighted you came back and do so hope you'll make it a regular thing.
ReplyDeleteI love your card - loads of lovely sparkle and that snowman has what I would describe as a really sweet and kind face. I think it's perhaps the round nose instead of a pointed carrot :)
Be sure to come back and play - and I almost forgot to say the orchid looks lovely. Afraid I had to resort to silk ones here after a few (ahem) less than green fingered incidents :(
Hugs

Ha! What planet was I on - have just been looking back and of course you've played a few times since your first visit. I hope it's not Kathy and SaRn leading you astray with the hooch SaRn seems to be selling in the tree house! :)
