Over the past few days, I've been working a lot on my Garden Alphabet, and I feel I'm making good progress. I have six letters completed, and sketches for several more. Plus, I've made what I believe will be "final" decisions about some important things, namely, the size of the letters (2.25 inches tall) and the paper (Strathmore Windpower Smooth

OK, that Bullfrog is cuter than cute, but I'm embarrassed to say admit that I've never heard of a Xerola.

LOL! Don't be embarrassed . . . NO one has ever heard of a Xerula, including me. Well, except for a few wacky botanists (unless there's another word for someone who studies mushrooms. Mycologist?). Xerula is a genus of mushrooms; there aren't *any* organisms with common names starting with X, (well, except Xantus' Hummingbird and Xantus' Murrelet; and those are both really LONG) so I figured I'd tried to find a Latin name. It was either that, or some obscure bug that no one's heard of, either, and in honor of Connor, I went with the mushroom. So don't feel bad at all! I'd never heard of it until I went Googling for something starting with X. :)

Hi Herebedragons... Can I ask you a few things about your lj setup? If so, could you pm me your email address? Cheers, Helen aka nicecupoftea

YAY! Playing with layouts! I've sent you an e-mail; let me know if it doesn't arrive for some reason (I used the LJ system), and I'll try again. :)
