Anniversary Rose that will last!

 

This VERY special husband ordered his wife an Anniversary Rose Panel that will last forever! He was a joy to work with and is a wonderful woodworker too! He plans to frame this panel I created so we both had a hand in creating this special anniversary gift for his deserving wife. His sweet daughter also had a hand in the surprise. I met her in Decatur, Illinois and handed the gift off to her. From there she took it to her dad who patiently waited until their Anniversary date arrived. Congratulations to Deb and Bill!!! May you have many more decades of love to celebrate. Thank you for allowing me to contribute by creating this custom panel for you. With gratitude, Laurie B.  and as always:

THANK YOU FOR BUYING HANDMADE!

STUMBLE ME!

Good morning readers,

After spending three hours between my blog and Stumble on It I managed to link my blog to their site for reviews, and in doing so increase my business contacts. As you will see at the left, their graphic isn't showing up in my sidebar.

It DOES work so I would deeply appreciate it if you would give my blog a Thumbs Up when you're taken to their review site.

If you don't have Stumble On It...it's pretty cool and has gotten high marks from the New York Times along with all of the Internet talking heads. It's quite easy to sign up, it's free, and it plops the Stumble It toolbar on your system without too much trouble. It DOES cut through a lot of the lousy sites and is actually fun when you want to surf. I've been taken to sites I would have never seen otherwise. For instance, I like gardening so Stumble is surfing me around the net on that topic. I just saw an amazing site about a man who GREW a chair!

At any rate, just wanted to send out a request. I am now heading out to my gardens to thwart the rabbits (netting for my lettuce and newly sprouted beans), move mulch, wash windows and grind glass for some new stained glass pieces for my collection! Your help and input is deeply appreciated.

With Gratitude, Laurie B.
