From Gram to Me

Many years ago I was given a few of my Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers peonies.  My mother had a couple in her yard and my great aunt(grams sister) had some in hers.  Unfortunately, about 13 years ago I had to move from the home. I had transplanted them there and my wonderful parents where kind enough to dig them up and adopt them for me until I landed in my home.  In the moving here and there we had many roots multiplied so we where lucky enough to separate them again and have more. 

But when I moved this plant you could tell it was very old.  The root system was giant.  As I walked across the yard to place it in its new home I realized that my grandmother had one day long ago, planted these peonies just as I was.  In my hands was something that she so lovingly took care of and I wanted to do the same. 
Now I know that everyone has something passed down like a wonderful vase or a beautiful tea cup and that is very important.  But the fact that I am the third generation to take care and grow these plants every year seems to me to be very special.  Just like my Grandmother was to me!

Busy Time!


 I have been working like a crazy person on the new line of jewelry that features my prints.  I am trying to design and build as quick as I can before the kids finish school for the year.  Above are a couple of great ones.  First is a travel poster and the second, the face of Les Miserables which is coming out as a movie shortly.
I have also added a couple of Marilyn.  I fell in love with the new show Smash on NBC so I decided to go along and bring a couple of Marilyn ones along for the ride.
I have a bunch more black and white on colored backgrounds coming out this week and I will up date those here shortly and of course the holiday ones are on the way.
Hope you enjoy these and check them all out on our jewelry site  http://www.winterberrycharms.etsy.com

Prom Time!


Mo before Prom
Josh and Amanda




Patrick and I with Morgan
Chuck, Annie, Morgan and Patrick


                                                                   Well at least for me, Thank God Prom Is Over.  It has become a monster of giant size.  It was Morgans last because she is a senior so that was bitter sweat.  But Josh still has a couple more years of this fun.  How exciting.  They all look fabulous and it is a moment in time that I will not forget. 
Now that prom is behind us it is time to get ready for graduation.  I am currently trying out many different waterproof mascaras.  Here come the waterworks and there is no holding them back!
