My Lily of the Valley....it means so much....Day 25

Hi Everyone....

I had a few sketches on the go today....but when I went outside to play with our son Cole...I noticed that all my Lily of the Valley is in full bloom....

These plants mean so much to me....you see when I was a child I grew up with the most amazing parents...my Mom and I would garden on our property...we even had the coolest forest ever....in it we made a special garden when I was a wee little girl....we took rocks and made it in the shape of a heart...in it we planted Lily of the Valley....and when it was in bloom, my Mom would collect bunches and place them in these miniature vases....she placed one by my bed side and I would inhale the most amazing fragrance from these magical flowers....I would dream wonderful dreams all night long....and wake to that heavenly scent....even today ...each time I smell them I think of those wonderful memories....thanks Mom...

I sit here typing and this miniature vase of my Lily of the Valley fills the room with the most amazing scent...these plants are ones my Mother picked in that very forest and transplanted here on our property about 9 years ago....they mean so much to me.....my heart smiles when I smell them and think of how lucky I truly am.....

I think they are the main reason I collect miniature vases....what fun!

Hugs

Day 21 of 365 Day Creative Exercise...yeah that's right...

Hi Everyone...

wow...day 21 has come and gone and I am thinking to just keep going and see if I can do a 365 day creative exercise...I figure I do something creative each and everyday and now I just can't stop...

today's post is a tribute to our weekly bon fires....we have our friends over and we enjoy a nice dinner and then a nice evening by the fire...

and you know what comes hand in hand with a bon fire...S'MORES! we ate a bunch last night and they were delish....thanks for bringing over enough marshmallows for the whole summer Carmen! I did this s'more in pen and ink and then added some digital colouring....I am posting this for the theme pens/pencils on Mixed Media Monday...since that is how this illustration started.....

I took some really cool shots of the fire too...I not only love to draw each and every day...but I am known for being attached to my camera....











Hope you all had a wonderful weekend....

Cheers,
Diana
