THANK YOU CARDS

I love sending (and receiving) mail.  There is something so thoughtful about it.  These note cards are so easy and add a personal touch to thank you or just because notes.

You need:

cardstock a little larger than the photos you will use (I purchased some at a paper store)

photographs (you took yourself - for this it is better to use scenery type photos)

pen

glue

Just glue the photographs onto the cardstock, write the location  you took the photograph in the lower right hand corner and sign the lower left hand corner.  The back can be used for writing your note!

MINI CACTI PLANTER

As promised and in the spirit of my new home in Arizona, I made a cacti planter for my very first DIY.  I was inspired by this post on one of my all time favorite blogs, A Beautiful Mess.  It was so simple and fairly inexpensive.  I am so excited to have some beautiful cacti on display in my home rather than just outside of it.

I used a variety of cacti, an aloe plant, and a succulent.  Of course, you can get any plants you want to make your mini garden unique!  Then, put a layer of rocks on the bottom of the bowl followed by a layer of soil.  Plant the cacti and add a top layer of rocks for visual effect.  

I'm hoping that this is an easy mini garden to care for--typically you only need to water every 7-9 days or when the soil becomes dry.  So cute and simple!
