I am getting ready to enter a local art competition, so I've been busy selecting my entries and getting them framed. I'll share my selections later, but one of my options is a photo I took last summer. I took the photo with my digital camera, so now I needed to find the best place to get a high quality print. Twitter provided a wonderful answer to that question!

Every Tuesday they tweet a special, so if you are on Twitter you should add them!
I ordered my prints the middle of last week, and received them on Monday. Much quicker than I expected. They were well packaged and the quality is SUPERB! Needless to say I was in the frame shop on Tuesday!
What do you think of my choice of photo?

Youch!
I've been seriously neglecting the blog.
Sorry about that. Life has been busy lately and has kept me from spending more time here.

I did manage to take a couple of shots that I liked.
This one was a particularly dreary day, but I love the colors!














This is a Cherokee Rose that I started from a clipping about 13 years ago. I think it likes where I put it as the flowers are quite a bit larger than the ones on the original plant.







I am thrilled to say that an item I donated to http://www.etsyforcharity.etsy.com has sold! I'll be packaging it and sending it on it's merry way tonight.

Do check out this store. All proceeds go to charity (this month's sales go to Autism Speaks, http://www.autismspeaks.org).
