Sweet Pea

One of my favourite flowers is the sweet pea, but I have not had much  luck growing them in my back yard. Unusual I think, as most people I know grow them without any trouble:(

This lovely beauty is from Doodle Pantry and what a glorious flower it is. It also comes with a daffodil, see here.

  10. Ooooh gorgeous Glenda! I love all the white around the sweet peas, and your background, how did you do that? Is it a stamp or did you sponge it? You can tell me this afternoon during stamp-n-play date! Can't wait to stamp.
