WAY TOO LONG AGO

Time can go by and if you don't have time or make time to blog. It is nice to come back to it. I am back on again! My pomegranate plant is going crazy this year. So beautiful is the dark orange red color of the flower.

For Goodness Sake

Today was a good day, despite bad news at my doctors office...I also got good news....I didn't gain any weight this winter my doctor said....Yay! I said oh that is the best news! I am managing to maintain status quo! I have not been well. My blood pressure is not under control and I am already on three medecines for it. So now one of the meds is being increased. I hope the energy comes back high blood pressure can make you feel very tired so can a thyroid problem. I have that too plus a plethora more medical problems all other stories in of themselves. I want to feel good this Spring. Quickly back to high blood pressure you can get nasty headaches and ringing in your ears ~ I also have those two symptoms. My ears are screaming at me.....I hate this symptom the most. Well hopefully with more meds I will start to feel better quickly. It warmed up a bit today and the snow has started melting some....I am praying for an early Spring! How about you?

SUPER SWEET SUNDAY

Garden Tangle ACEO available soon at Glenna's Garden

I was up early this morning. I finally got all caught up with Glenna's Garden http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ Well it looks like I will be featuring two international shops back to back on Feature Friday here on my blog the next two Fridays. I finally have it all together and I am feeling 100% better. Today is a day off for me normally but I will be using the day to stay inside in the cool air and get things done for the start of a new week. If you want to be Featured on a Friday in my blog please just email me gnormyle@yahoo.com You must have an active Etsy shop and that is the only requirement. The rest of the work to put an article together is easy. I will be adding a link here later today for a treasury I will create today. This time the challenge will be a theme. I wish when I put the treasuries together that I could move the items I choose around by simply clicking the picture and repositioning it in another place just like we can do when we rearrange our shops. I am looking forward to Christmas in July on Etsy. I have received some good customer feedback on my jewelry I have listed. I started out wanting to offer jewelry but it is so very competitive on Etsy. I have so many new items to take pictures of Monday and hopefully start listing soon. What are your plans for today? Is anybody taking a vacation? I am waiting for my sister to move back to FL soon and then I will go there to visit her when it is cold here. Yay!

I think we need a cool link here let's see how about edible flowers check this out

What's up, it is Wednesday?

It's the last day of June.......already half way to the big weekend. Nice temperatures today YAY! Today is a beautiful day! Finally a typical day in June for us 70 degrees low humidity. The kind of day when you go outside you feel refreshed. I will be out taking advantage of this day taking many new pictures. Yes today I get to be the photographer side of myself. Nowhere best than Manchester, NH for an adventure in the gardens. So this will be a short short blog and if I can I will add to it later on today, I just might. One of the items in my shop made it into another Etsy treasury today please check this out this one titled Gentle on my Mind

Many thanks Sarah for including my vintage cat card in this beautiful soft treasury.

I belong to three Etsy teams so I have decided to create new treasuries one in red another in white and the third one in blue to salute our teams and of course Fourth of July! This weekend is going to be fun. I enjoy watching the fireworks over the river downtown. Enjoy your day wherever you are!

TOTALLY TIRED

I have been out of the loop for a day or two here now. I am caring for my 2 year old grandson because he is sick and can't go to school. What nice break and mini vacation for me. I am sooooo tired. Sleeping good!
I have been busy making cards like these with real pressed flowers. Also I made a few Mary Engelbreit tags. We had so much smoke from the fires in Canada that the sun was drowned out. I use natural lighting by a window to take my photos for my shop. I need to take a bunch of pictures and then everything will be listed in my shop at http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/
