Paper Series Post

Handmade Easter cards are an easy Do-It-Yourself (DIY) with ribbons, card stock, a computer and an at-home printer. Sealing wax stamp and slip-in envelopes make the cards extra special. 

Pin photos to your Spring and Easter Pinterest boards to create DIY cards for future use. 

For lovers of blue and white, there is a print with blue eggs and blue text. For those who prefer traditional colors of Spring, there is a print with green eggs and green text. Links to the two different colored prints are at the bottom of the post. 

A Red Truck with a Green Tree

For some reason the color red immediately brings Christmas to mind.  Add red to any scene, and the scene becomes Christmas.  Make that a red truck, and the Christmas factor soars.  If the red truck has a green tree in its bed, Christmas shouts from the rooftops of the mind, "Merry Christmas!"

Add the scent of rosemary to chase away any thoughts other than Christmas.

Add a few dents here and there to the truck, and Christmas in Texas comes to my mind.  Trucks for working ranches, farms, and construction sites are the reasons for trucks in Texas.  Not city-slicker trucks with chrome bumpers parked in front of a luxury hotel in New York.  

Red trucks with 200,000 miles on their odometers travel two-lane backroads hauling needed supplies. Jolting along over potholes, gravel, and mud, the ride is not easy on the passengers, the cargo, or the truck. 

Yepper, an old dented red truck hauling green rosemary trees in its bed says, "Christmas in Texas."

Simple French-Looking White & Green Fall Vignette

The Lone Star State is still green.  

Well, as green as north Texas gets in late summer. 

The grasses, flowers, trees, shrubs... all have a fine film of dust

(lack of rain)

making them a dusty green.

The leaves on the trees are still green with a few brown edges.

Indications that fall is approaching... 

The calendar says it is officially fall,

but the temperatures and foliage say it's really still summer.

Reading other blogs and looking at linking party photos

inspired me to create a 

simple white and green fall vignette 

on my kitchen counter.

The white pedestal cake stand is a recent find.

Call it new vintage...
