plants and succulents

I have a black thumb when it comes to taking care of plants but I have heard that succulents are pretty easy to take care of.  We have two plants in our house at the moment.  One is our christmas tree and that one is not doing so well.  The other Mario's mom gave me but I forgot about it and now it is dead on the balcony... oops. Maybe I will try a succulent plant and if I kill that... I think it is time to give up.

Lago Maggiore trip with Leana and Cassidy

Yesterday Leana, Cassidy and I went to Lago Maggiore.  It was cold but a nice day.  I was a little sad that the Garden was closed... it was the reason for going to the Lake in the first place.  But we had fun, took lots of pictures.  Next time we will go see the gardens.

franco's posh prints

My sister brought me Franco's prints that I made with my aunt over the summer.  I was so excited to hang Fanco's prints on our tree, they are so cute.  

If you are interested in getting them done.... here is the link.

bird and berry print

I made this print the other day and I really like it.  I am still not sure about the colors... I dont think that I like the yellow at all. I think it would be nice wrapping paper or maybe a pillow.  I put the grey and white print on a pillow box... cute. It looks like it would be for a wedding favor box.  I will post it later.  Let me know what you think, which colors you like and what you think it would be good for.

I think I like this color combination.
