Stampin Up:  Hydrangea Haven 

Today is plant watering day at our home.

I noticed this past winter that my rubber tree

was getting more leaves, and I credited it to 

the little room humidifier we have sitting on the 

dining room table.  

Well, the past 2 weeks, the leaves started getting 

yellow and dropping.  So of course I went to 

google to find out why, to which it said either 

too much water or not enough.  So helpful.  sigh 

I thought perhaps it was to moist with that humidifier

running by it.  So I let it dry out, thinking that would 

be best, well tonight hubby helped me pull it out 

of the pot and I was shocked at how absolutely dry 

and dusty it was, so we put in a bit of new soil,

ran out, so we had to mix the old with the new, and then

wiped down all the leaves and gave it a drink.  

So now we wait to see if it will survive. 

I hope that it does, I've had this one for probably 18 years.

aww, such is life.  All my plants need a good 

wash (dusting) and repotting. 

I suppose I should talk about my card.   Well folks

it is quite straight forward.  Except I just didn't know 

when to stop with that hydrangea.   I stamped it twice

then I die cut it twice and lifted all the little flower 

pieces up, I also added extra little flower pieces in 

lighter and darker colors for contrast.  and just when I 

thought I was done, I noticed the ribbon had a hint of 

sparkle to it, so I added embellishments to a few 

of the petals to bring out that bling.  I think this would make a 

lovely Mother's day card.  

Thought I'd include a picture of my little HP.  He had his 

springtime shave, and he's still on prednisone, so he gets

the shivers, and that means I spoil him by keeping him 

covered and toasty warm.  He is a little sweetheart. 

 

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.  

And also,  for my dog, HP.
