Unfinished Landscape Garden Project

This project was started with the utmost enthusiasm and inspiring mind set. But then...the flu. What on earth did this flu do to me?! I'm over it, but it left me some sort of chemical unbalance. Must be my age. No longer am I resilient as in my younger days. I hope I can update with an after pic in the near future

My So Cal Garden

This area was installed last summer in the blazing heat as an effort to keep these now transplants alive. They almost died prior.
They are thriving now. Temperatures seemed to be averaging in the 108 degree range here in the Inland Empire last year.
Thank goodness I had the time and energy to dig in because they're doing so well I've been able to take cuttings and use them in other areas of the yard.
Take a look around your yard and see what's suffering, it may just need to be relocated for some shade or drainage. Thank goodness succulents can take transplanting shock well.
So glory to God I have this beautiful little spot to spark some joy.

CHURCH GIRL BOUTIQUE 
Wanted to make a line of accessories you can wear anywhere. Our customers are very unique and stylish, and if you attend church, well you want to give your best to God.
We feel that you should wear your best to church, even if it is the same outfit every week, it should be conservative and your best. 
We want to make this line to compliment you. Lovely and not too distracting to fellow church members.
Also, we want to use quality supplies, yet affordable.
It is not our motive to use church to sell these items. We just want to provide choices. Basically, we don't sell just skulls.
We hope you like our items

Arte De Mi Familia Photos of Custom Orders-Arts and Crafts Addiction Shout Out- and last- A Note On My Own Skulls

It's a fight!  A battle! We need time! We need materials! We need work space! We need storage! It's like a passion disease that some of us have, many artists, including one of our sons.
Why can't we stick to one thing and reproduce it!
Some can, but we can't!! 
(that was a little over the top, sorry)

When I paint my skulls, like most artist, I am my biggest critic. I make sure they don't look like a gorilla skull, a ghost, a puppy dog face, an alien, and a zombie. Most of all- they need to look happy!!!
