You know..

I keep saying that I will start posting a picture a day and it never happens.

So I will stop saying that!  Clearly when i state this it does not happen and when I say nothing then that is when I get creative and start posting pics and stuff.

So yeah.  No more promises!  I feel terrible to the few who do see my blog that I am not sticking to what I say.

Chillin'

Flowers aka Karen Being A Dork

So  I joined my parents on a quick trip to the plant nursery.  My mom got flowers to make one of those tall plant things you see on the Home Depot commercials.  I just love flowers and how pretty they look, I'm just terrible at taking care of them.

I decided to be a dork and snap several pictures with my phone.

I love the two flower hanging blankets.  Probably should have moved so I didn't get the plant lable in there, oh well~

Saw these and thought of my friend's grandmother. I'll have to post it to her Facebook page laters!

Good thing I'm not a professional photographer because I seem to be good at capturing labels and price tags.  This is a pretty display they have in the green house.

Does it look like I'm in a thick forest with big purple things and giant dragonflies?  Good cause that's the look I was going for!  Same display as above but from a different angel.  That is a nice yard decoration though!

This is just too neat!  It's a deer sculpture with live plants growing in it as its body! How can anyone pass up taking a picture of this!

Hike

My friend and I took our dogs for a hike this morning!  The dogs were so excited that I didn't even attempt to try to take a picture of them so here are a few other other pictures I took!

Right at the start of the hike we had this view!  You can see Highway 6 over yonder! (the tiny squiggle in the distance)

These were everywhere! Ok maybe not everywhere but there several of them.  Sent this picture to my entomologist friend and she says they are Wooly Bear Caterpillars that eventually turn into Tiger Moths...ew.

Towards the end of out hike I stopped to take a picture of some wild flowers. I saw them and just had to!  I felt like all the people passing us on the trail were like 'Oh look at that city girl with her cell phone taking pictures of wild flower'  HA HA!!!  It was kinda like that but it's not like I never get out and trees are this strange thing to me.  I live in Colorado I have to like the mountain...it's in my blood!  Plus I was taking pictures for my out of state friend who has never been to Colorado...that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

The dogs were happy as heck to get out and about.  My dog is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a few people were like he has awful short legs for going on a hike but Shinji does pretty dang good!  That is until we reached avalanche alley.  Threes avalanche sites along the trail were the rocks were just too much for poor short Shinji.  Amy on the other hand was like what ever watch me bounce from rock to rock I have energy to burn!!! (She is an Australian Shepard)

At the end of the morning it was a good hike for all of us!

Cupcake Covers

My friend is have a baby shower (which is only three weeks away!!!!) and she asked me if I could make her some cupcake covers. I of course said yes!
I don't own a fancy paper crafting machine just my hands and a pair of scissors! I found a pattern online and got to work!

Those are the patterns I got with the help of her sister. I was just going to do nothing but dinosaurs but she had the idea to mix it up a bit and use the baby shower's theme colors!

I tried to cute the shapes out every which way I could so that the designs would look straight but as it turned out this looks just as good if not better and defiantly cooler in my opinion.  Three more weeks and still so much to do!
