Orange Blossoms

Hello Everyone!

I have been on an exhaustive search for a paper collection with some lovely peach papers in it and was having no luck. I couldn't figure out why Pion Design doesn't have peach in their colour palette, so I emailed the owner of Pion Design and requested a peach collection. I didn't hear back from her, so I continued my search and finally came across a paper pad from Recollections that had a couple of sheets of peach paper in it. This is the birthday card that I created using them.








I am now very proud and excited to announce that the owner of Pion Design heard my cries for peach and is releasing this gorgeous collection very soon!! I am beyond excited and can't wait to get my hands on this set of papers!! THANKS PION!!!!

Summer is in full swing and it is passing so quickly! I'm hoping we get some rain this year, it's almost the end of June and it's really only rained once, and it was only for a few minutes. Thank goodness for my patio full of lush foliage, bright flowers and water fountain because it's starting to turn brown in the parks again. Silly global warming!

A female Sparrow enjoying the sun...


Omg, it's Little Kate! Isn't she just the sweetest thing!

This was taken the first time she saw daylight. As you can see, her eyes were having problems adjusting. What a dollface!


"The grass is green, the peanut lady is back... I'm so happy!"

"Everybody Freeze! There's a peanut throwing creature roaming the woods!"
~Betty Boop~


"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Sun's shining, flowers blooming, and the peanuts are fresh! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!" 
~Bernie~


I don't get a much of a chance to take macro shots of rain drops (since we are in a drought), so I had some real fun with my water bottle mister and the blossoms on this tree!! lol


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.

  11. A gorgeous creation Pamellia, love your use of layers and lace!
    Your photos are stunning - our blackbirds do not have the orange flash on their wings... Your photo of Miss Cherie is perfect, and your macro shot of the water is exquisite.
    Blessings

  16. Love this make Pamellia and I too love peach but it is difficult to find.

    You should check out Blissful Peach from Anna Marie designs she is an amazing shabby chic designer and I was lucky enough to go to one of her crafting retreats last year in the Cotswold's.

    Here is a link to her shop Anna Marie Designs.

    Long time since I have hopped on over so off to see what I have missed. Take care.

  18. So pretty as always Pamellia with lots of interesting details. How fab that Pion listened to you and are producing a peach collection, I'm sure it will be very popular.
    Love the nature shots - that raccoon is just adorable we don't have them in the UK
    Have a great weekend

  20. I do not know where to start today. Congratulation on inspiring a whole paper collection, peach is a difficult colour to get hold of, but not any longer it seems. How exciting.

    Your card is fabulous, so frilly and girly and I love all of the flowers and lace. Beautiful.

    As always, amazing nature photographs, I just love them all but I am totally blown away by the photo of the blackbird in the blossoms, it is stunning and definately goes in my imaginary 'Calendar by Pamellia', I am guessing this would this be the May page? Your macro shot is also a winner.

    I wonder if you have seen this ... https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsnight/videos/2014079498625596/?hc_ref=ARQOcTL6A99zzVmGuq78kjVqYxDTuZOlru8u_oLcZgo60jaKJ8RgBgxc_xQrf9SG1Bk&fref=nf

  22. I have at last had a catch up although I have only left you comments on this and the post before! I hope you don't think I've been ignoring you - things just got a bit much and then we went away with no connection! Hopefully I'll be back on track soon! This is fabulous, and how exciting to have a request met by Pion!I shall look forward to seeing what you do! Hugs, Chrisx
