This week the Tea Potters are traveling back to Texas. Maybe I can avoid all this snow by going out west. Martha needs some cheering up so we are sending spring flower gardens for her to gaze at. Martha lost her husband suddenly after Thanksgiving to a heart attack. I am hoping that this garden will bring her some peace and joy.

What a lovely garden. I'm sure those sweet whimsical flowers will make Martha smile. The paper underneath is so pretty looking too.
It's lovely to see you back stamping again. I hope you did get the b'card I sent, I have a horrible history of the postal services losing quite a few so I can never be sure :-(.
