A Little of This and That...Flowers~ Photo Challenge Day 2

 Hello everyone! Day 2 of the July Photo Challenge that I found on Pinterest is FLOWER!

I will say that I cannot just do ONE FLOWER!!! I mean HOW COULD I?!



I ate my breakfast (well....brunch) outside. I did eggs and a bagel again. It seems to just do my stomach well for now. I strolled over to my roses to capture their glory!





Here is the photo challenge list if you would like to join along on your own blog!


Now.... what is going on here? A little of this and that. I am really still limited with activity so it has been a lot of reading, coloring, blogging, resting, watching a little of this and that. Oh, I have also been doing my crossword puzzle book and sticker book fun. 


This week I worked on our seasonal newsletter for our ladies at our church. The theme is on Freedom, Fullness and Fruitfulness. It was a fun one to create, write and stuff the envelopes. I had to work on this a little at a time  every single day for energy sake. I did get them all mailed yesterday. I always put a little surprise in the envelopes. Winter/Spring I added a sticker verse and for Summer I did a neat tea bag bookmark with flowers embroidered on them. 





I love the color! It is so summery like. I will have to share the bookmark later as I forgot to get a picture but I had some leftover so I will share later on. 


Today, I started working on thank you cards for those that have brought meals, gifts and blessed me with mail. I found these cute cards that you can color. I felt this would be a way to be creative and fill in lots of this TIME I have on my hands.



I was also so surprised by a wonderful friend with a package. I couldn't believe this treasure she sent me. You all know how much I love Anne of Green Gables!


She sent me this bag and an Anne of Green Gables Cookbook. I love it.



I am so excited to read through this and maybe this fall I can make some of the recipes!



I will leave you with this quote above! I hope you all have a beautiful day!

With Love, 

Chrissy T

Well, my goodness...I read about the photo challenge yesterday. I decided I would give it a go. And then I forgot. Already. How sad. But, I have printed it off and will keep on trying. How can I capture oppressive heat and not a breath of air for photo number one?? Kudos for making the most of your "restricted activity" time!!

i am intrigued by the photo challenge!! i have been mixing one egg, and one tablespoon of mayo with a "frother" in a shallow custard like dish. i add a small amount of butter and top it with everything bagel seasonings and microwave it for 40 - 50 seconds. soooo good, you can google it, it makes like a simple omelet that you could add anything to it. beautiful flowers!!

Pretty flowers. I'm sure everyone will appreciate those thank you cards. So many people don't do that anymore!

Your roses are stunning! Would you believe I can't grow roses? I just don't have enough sun. That Anne of Green Gables is such a nice gift!

What a lovely gift someone gave you with the Anne of Green Gables bag! And the cookbook as well! And I love it that you found Thank You cards that you can add a personal touch to with the coloring. You are giving back to those who have so generously given to you. xx
