Yesterday I mentioned that I picked the first daffodils of
the season from my garden. Here’s a hint about daffodils I forgot to mention.
Do NOT put daffodils in a vase with other spring flowers, especially not with
tulips. The daffodils secrete a poison that will kill the other flowers. If I
want to combine other flowers with the daffodils I put daffodils in a separate vase
that fits inside a larger vase that holds the rest of the flowers. That way the
water from the daffodils cannot contaminate the other water.
Because I have not been feeling well what with the cold and
the brain disorders acting up I haven’t felt very creative so I did a craft
room clean-up and reorganizing. Finding the right way to store embellishments
is my biggest problem. I’ve tried various methods and nothing seems to work
perfectly. I have all my hard embellishments – like brads and jewels in craft
containers sorted by colour. That works for me for them but it’s the paper
embellishments that cause me headache. I’ll keep working on it. I did a YouTube
search and there are lots of videos but the people have huge craft rooms with
an obvious unlimited budget….not in my case! So, how do you store your paper
embellishments??? Leave a comment and share your best kept secrets!
It hit my last night though that I have not made the Easter
cards for my grandchildren so I did get started at them after supper. I’ll
finish them today.
Today’s card was made from another older stamp. Lately I’ve
been using the oldest stamps instead of the latest ones and enjoying the
process.
Love this stamp. So darn cute! It was coloured with various
inks that I spread out on a piece of plastic and just spread with a paint
brush. Pretty easy layout so not much explanation required for this one. The rectangles
were die cut with the Spellbinders’ Card Creator set using both A and B to get
the 1/8” border.
Back to the lower studio (aka the basement) do get some cards made.

You are a wealth of information! i had no idea daffodils would do that! I MUST remember that. :)!!!
