I am working on a folio using some old Graphic 45 papers I have in my stash called Botanical Tea. I think this was released again recently for a printing so customers could have it again for a short time. I had this terrible habit of hoarding my paper and not using it so now I'm pulling it out and cutting into it and I have to admit it is hard for me. I'm a "true hoarder" when it comes to my paper! When I finish this I will share it with you!
Of course this isn't my desk but I have been working with these petunias to get them to take hold and start to grow. They never wilted when I transplanted but just didn't take off and grow until now. I have fed them twice and they are beginning to come up over the lip of the planter so they can be seen. Miracle Gro is a good thing!
Well that's it for me this morning...I'm off to visit as many fellow deskers as I can. Have a great rest of the week!

Hi Glenda, love those papers. I have to admit to being a bit of a hoarder too, I have some from more years ago than I care to think! The petunia colour is gorgeous, and have to agree about the Miracle Grow! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #10 X
Hi, Glenda! Your petunias are growing to please you now it seems! I love that bright pop of purple coloring! They only grow in Non-Summer months around here - I'm glad they are responding to your gentle prompts of love. I hear ya about the G45 paper! I tend to horde it, too, but mostly because I forget about it LOL Definitely want to get something done with mine, too! Thanks for reminding me, and looking forward to seeing what pretties you make from your efforts! hugs, de
What gorgeous petunias they are - love the deep purple.
Good to see your stash being used - I too am a hoarder.
Good news, my doctor rang this morning following my visit to him yesterday. He has been on to Cardiology about my swelling and they have given him three different options. We are trying option one at the moment for a month and if it doesn't work going to option 2 and so on. Just hope it works as my legs and other bits are so sore to touch. Hope you get yours sorted too.

Oh Glenda what a lovely sight to see, not only Graphic 45 but a beautiful outdoor planter. I was given the gift of a fully reworked hanging basket on my return from holiday, it has been well watered with all the UK rain. Long may our beautiful blooms grow. Happy WoywW Tracey #3
I am in LOVE with that G45 paper. That is absolutely amazing. I enlarged to see it even better. Your petunias are beautiful and I hope they take off now. Happy WOYWW from # 8.
Hi Glenda, Loving the papers you are cutting.

Those Graphic 45 papers are lovely - I know what you mean about them though - it is hard to cut them up and use them. Lovely flowers as well. Happy WOYWW. with love & God Bless. Caro (#19) xxx

Yes that graphics paper is truly yummy, I’ve been given a bit and think I’ve still hoarded them like you, I take them out and drool and then put them away again, not smart that really they’re meant to be used, well done you!
Happy belated WOYWW. Thanks for sharing, Shaz in Oz.x #22

PS really brilliant purple petunias well done!
Oooh, I have this collection in an 8x8 pad and love it! I've used it lots, but I have so much paper. I'll admit I tend to hoard some of the prettiest papers, shame on me. Your folios are the perfect way to put them to use. You love making them and they turn out so gorgeous! Good luck with your petunias. I haven't planted as many annuals this year as usual. We planned to be gone a lot, but things have gotten in the way of that up to this point. It will all work out eventually.
