Close-Ups Of The Secret Garden Book Plus A Couple Shout-Outs

I will start out with an apology for this very long post so soon after the Where Bloggers Create mega-post.  Alexa's Secret Garden Of Verse arrived back from Somerset last week so I wanted to show you the complete book.  I'll keep the words to a minimum so it isn't so long to scroll through but please read to the end because there are a couple of special events I want to tell you about.
 The book is sitting on top of the keepsake box I bought for it and I also included a copy of the magazine.
 You can double-click the pictures so they are large enough to read the verses I picked out.














Thank you for indulging me.  I can hardly wait to give her the real thing!

I also want to share a give-away Diane is having to celebrate her 200th post over at My Art Journal.  Be sure to check it out because she is giving away one of her lovely hand-painted boxes!

Plus! I want to point out the new button over on my sidebar.  Lovey at Fabric Photo Memories has put her beautiful book on a special sale.

Kathy, this book is such an incredible labor of love. The photos are so sweet and the details so perfect! I love the one where you made the crown on her head! This will be such a special treasure for Alexa. Thank you so much for sharing the whole book.
