January Tulips

You  thought I had forgotten all about my blog?!?  Nah, I thought about it every day. . . but I do feel a little disloyal.  How 'bout that Pinterest?

These are what I call rescued tulips.  You know I believe in flower shops.  Real flower shops.  And I vow never ever to buy a flower from a gas station.  That's just wrong.   But these--well,  these were rescued from a big box that I love to hate but can't seem to live without.  

This is my first attempt to use the photo cube that Mark bought me for Christmas.  I wanted a big one so that I could put big pieces in it.  Putting it up is like boxing with a big white plastic cloud.  Putting it away is like trying to subdue a resistant two-year-old, except the noise is a little different.  But I love it.  And I'll figure out how to use it with some practice.  Photoshop?  Well, that's still a lesson in progress too :)

I just heard Elle McPherson say on the Golden Globes, "I get happier every year."  Now that's success.  Looking forward to 2012 and a year of flowers and family and happiness for us all.
