GARDENING IS A PAIN!

Does anyone else think so?  ROFL!  Fortunately, as I live in a cluster home development, I have a very small garden and I have NO lawn to mow!  My flower bed is raised to waist level so I never get a pain in my back like this:


The image is one I drew for Digistamps 4 Joy, and will be in the store soon.  I just love the poem I used as a sentiment, and used to have it on a plaque in the garden of a home I used to live in.  Unfortunately it was built into a wall, so I couldn't take it with me when I moved (*insert sad face here*)

I would like to add this to the following challenges:
The Outlawz, Friday'c Copic Marker Challenge, 11 May, 'Gardening'
Di's Digi Designs, 'Spring Challenge'
Great Impressions, #3, 'Anything goes'
Opus Gluei, #130, 'Beyond the Garden Gate'

  1. Just beautifully creative. Love this new image you have designed. Fortunately we also don't have any grass to cut either as there is a sleeper path running through our garden, but unfortunately here are always weeds.

  9. Gardening can be a pain, I would love it if I could just do the fun bits and leave the boring old weeding to someone else. Alas....

    Your card is so nice, I love that sentiment. The way you've created this really makes it perfect!

    Thank you so much for sharing your creativity on our theme at Opus Gluei, hope you decide to check us out again!

  11. A beautiful card, such a pretty image and wonderful coloring and sentiment. I laughed when I read your first line of your post, as this was exactly me last week after helping my MIL weed her garden. Thanks for joining us at Platypus Creek.
