My First Blog Post

Hi Friends,

Well this is my first post...LOL :)

I thought I might attempt to put a couple of pictures of my crafts on this post.

The first one "the flower girl" I made out of a straw broom and used crinkly paper for the dress. Her face is a yellow flower, hence the name the flower girl.

The second image is just a floral centerpiece I threw together for my holiday table last year. The silk winter flowers and evergreens are placed in a glass bowl filled with clear marbles and set in a evergreen and holly candle ring as an accent piece. All the little snowmen friends are store bought. I can't take credit for them:)

Well that's it for now.

Thanks for visiting my little corner.

Ginny aka gigi =:)

I don't like ice and snow much.
But right now I wouldn't mind seeing one or two, it's so hot and humid here.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
