What do you mean, you don’t have one of these in your garden yet? The ‘Purple Pansy’ Redbud is a native to Georgia, and following the beautiful blooms in March, you are rewarded with a spring foliage extravaganza. Cercis canadensis ‘Purple Pansy’ (Eastern Redbud)

My first decoupaged comic book earrings. 

I’ve been playing around with decoupage materials lately. I used a small wooden birdhouse, scrapbook paper from JoAnn’s, decoupage paper from Dekostudija, and pages from a discarded novel. The yellow trim and blue perch are painted with acrylic.  I’m happy with the result!

I love birds (by Francoise MELZANI)

Dusk at home. Kids are laughing and playing at the park beyond the fence. A small dog barks in the distance. Wind rustles leaves on the oaks that guard our home. The pool ripples softly. Jupiter and brighter Venus rise punctuated by a sliver of moon. I feel perfect peace.

ACTA in a Nutshell –

What is ACTA?  ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.

Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”

What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

I want to try making something like this. I’ve been working with wire, and I love the technique used here. These are beautiful!
