This View...

...is pretty much the view we had from my backyard when I was in high school.  A couple of houses obstructed it a little, but you can't block those desert skies.  This makes me a little homesick!  

Window Herb Garden

I love having a garden and I really want an herb garden.  But since we are renting and have limited garden space, I planted 8 different kinds in pots and put them on my window sill.  We have really wide window sills that are perfect for this.  Not all of my plants are doing particularly well--some of them (mainly my dill and cilantro) aren't very well suited to a container in a window sill, but I still wanted to give them a try.  I also have oregano, marjoram, lemon balm, parsley, thyme, and chives.  I love it!  Cutting fresh herbs when cooking is the best   :)  

Card Set

For Mother's Day, I made my mom a set of miscellaneous cards.  My little sister and I had a "Girls' Day" and made a ton of cards and watched chick flicks that I've wanted to see, but can't get my husband to watch with me.  I hadn't pulled out any of my papercrafting supplies for almost a year!  I made about 10 cards and it felt so good!  But now I have to put away my mess...and I'm totally procrastinating it.  Anyway, here are the ones that I made for my mom's set:
