Best Gift ever!

A friend of mine is taking her daughter to see the Jonas Brothers in the Bahamas. It's double fun; her daughter gets to see the Jonas Brothers and she get to go to the Bahamas! So we made her a "Mrs. Jonas" beach towel and matching tote bag. It is just too cute! My friends daughter got a big kick out of it and can't wait to see the Jonas Brothers in concert, sporting her beach towel that is! My friend can't wait to get to the Bahamas!

Butterfly Perennial Garden

Lately with all this talk and spring garland sewing, I find that I can't stop looking in the flower catalogs that I get everyday. I can't help but wonder, why my garden never looks like them. This year I plan to take a new and different approach. I'm just going to focus on one section at a time. This spring I plan to build a perennial garden in the back. I want to make a garden that will attract butterflies and birds.

I have been collecting bird houses over the last few years, and I plan to put them at different heights in the garden. I think I'll need a bird bath too. I would love to do something a bit unexpected. Maybe I'll put in a giant toad stool. I saw that once in a magazine. On a wooden log, a metal bowl is nailed in and the bowl is painted red with white dots. Let's see what comes of it.
