The excitement builds around here

In my effort to keep you posted on the happenings over at the lilac bush, I bring to you the pictures I took this afternoon of the wee little blooms.

Remember how tight they were when I posted them here, just ten days ago? They were just beginning to peek out from under their leaf coverings then.

I used Pioneer Woman’s seventies action on the shot above, and then brushed off the action from the buds. I was just liking the pink sky. Then I used a texture from Joy St. Claire. It’s a pink one that has a pattern on it and I love it.

This is pretty much a Straight Out of Camera Shot with another texture of Joy’s that I enjoy using.

So you see, my friends, it’s ever so terribly exciting here at the manor house on the big hill in Maryland. I can hardly contain myself, as I am rather prone to overexcitement.

Every day may not be good,

but there's something good in every day.
