OK, had to take a break from chores so I thought I'd catch up my blog. Thursday night my parents caught me on Skype when my mood message said I was upstairs crafting. They wanted to know what I was making so I thought I'd show them some pictures.
I got a little carried away making tags again! :-) I'm thinking about having a "tag of the month" club! Anybody wanna sign up? lol... Look, I even put my leftovers together in a little tag kit -- it already sold in my Etsy shop!
So this morning I decided that I really should trim my monster tomato plants a little bit. I hauled off 2 black garbage bags of branches I cut off my tomatoes, herbs, and flowers. And if you hadn't seen it before you probably wouldn't be able to tell right now! I tied up a lot of the branches -- they're kind of running horizontally across the fence right now, kind of like grape vines. I also brought in 4 POUNDS of tomatoes!!! And remember, I've been eating a handful of grape tomatoes and an Early Girl every day for the past few weeks. I've had whole gardens that didn't produce as many tomatoes as I'm getting from these two plants. My patio smells really good right now -- a combination of tomato plant, chocolate mint, lemon balm, rosemary, sage, and chives!
Since we're going to a semi-formal wedding tonight I'm going upstairs now to see if I can get the green stains and ink off my fingernails. I'll tell you about that tomorrow.

ooh, I think those tags are yummy! What is your trick for aging them - I never can get mine to look that good! By the way, did you ever get the instructions I emailed you about how I printed the iPhoto with mat frames? I'm not sure if it went through. If not, I posted intructions on my blog, too.
What fabulous tags. I love the colour.
