Spring is in the air...

...hmmm....I can feel it for sure...the air around me is getting warmer,  flocks of birds are migrating to the north and the neighbors' yards are showing off some vibrant color. Yes, spring is almost here in my part of the world.

I have been longing to plant some flowering plants in my yard (so far I only have a couple of rose bushes and the gladioli bulbs from last year). So here is my wishlist for spring!

Some sweet smelling jasmine

fragrant plumeria or frangipani as many may call it

pretty colored lilies

a bush of yellow roses

 bunch of white calla lilies

and some friendly daisies.













Thats all that I ask for (smiles).

Wrap me up pretty

Hello my lovelies! How's the beginning of the week treating you? Mine has been pretty busy as I'm trying to get my hands around all my to dos for the week. I have some real nice posts lined up for everyone here. So heres the first one....
OK, so do you remember my post on gift wrapping ideas back in December. I promised I'll share with you pictures of the gifts all wrapped up. These were gifts that we (me and my sisters) wrapped for my cousin's wedding. We used brown paper for the base and then decorated with handmade paper and block printed paper in vibrant colors and then added some more pizazz with gold ribbon, golden flowers, ghungroos...  Take a look at the final outcome...Ohhhhh... it was so much fun bringing it all together. Hope you like them.

I love hearing from you all and comments from you really make my time here on the blog much more worthwhile. So, good or bad, do leave me a note. Have a good rest of the week!
