Alright! I must say that Summer from Belles n Whistles Stamps has put out a very very fun and interesting challenge, which cannot be refused! Belles 'n Whistles is coming out with a new release soon, and Summer is TEASING all of us with little itty bitty tidbits of the new stamps! lol! So, she's giving away such a generous prize to 2 lucky people!! The challenge is to take a picture of where your Belles 'n Whistles stamp resides. :) I love it!
Okay, for me, I live in Las Vegas Nevada. I thought it would be such a cool idea to take a pic at night with my stamp against the Las Vegas strip lights. I still think it's a cool idea! I live quite aways from the strip, so I'd just probably go up the road and from here, I can see almost the entire strip. BUT! Knowing Las Vegas people and the crazy drivers they are, I don't want to be parked on the side of the road and some Looney bin runs me over! lol!
Soooo, I opted for a much safer approach. lol!!! I took a pic of my lovely "Beary Big Hugs" in my own backyard. We have 2 blossoming plum trees in the back, and I love when spring is nearing because they put out such pretty flowers that remind me of Japanese Cherry Blossoms.
Now, I don't know if my neighbors in the back of our home was watching me or not, but if they were, ... they were probably saying, "What the HECK is she doing?!" lol. And, while I was taking the pictures, the poor little birds were screaming at me, "Hurry up so we can go back to our tree!" AND, on top of wondering what my neighbors must think, and the birds chirping at me, I had BUZZING BEES somewhere in there with their constant, "hummmmm". LOL!!! I must say, I totally loved this challenge! :) Something new and different!
Alright, there's my story (lol) , and here's the pics of my cutie pie with our blossoming plum tree:
Can you see her?
Can you see her?
Just a little closer:
THERE'S my cutie pie!
Thank you so much Summer for this truly delightful challenge! I sooo enjoyed this! :)
And for everyone else, head on over to Belles 'n Whistles and give it a whirl!
Thanks for stopping by!
xoxo ... Elise

Your tree is absolutely GORGEOUS!! This is a sight you will not find here in Hawai'i....LOVE your creativity and VIEW! =)
Oh Elise I wondered what on earth you were doing, thought you'd lost the plot for a mo lol.
Your tree is beautiful

Wow, a wonderful and fun challenge and your take is so creative and unique! That is one lovely Cherry Blossoms tree. Although the strip would have been great, we do not want you to risk your life for a challenge blog. LOL You are hilarious! ~Chelsea
Hi Elise! Thanks for posting your pic - a Vegas strip pic would've been awesome but crazy to do lol! That's a gorgeous tree though!! :) Have a wonderful day!
Elise, this is just beautiful!! I love the tree and the gorgeous flowers! What a fun idea and how cool that would be to see the lights in Vegas!! Whoo hoo!! Thanks for playing along with us, we hope you come visit us in Hawaii!!

Love your story and your pictures! The trees are beautiful... it kind of does look like cherry blossoms from afar! Have a great weekend!
Elise you are toooo funny! Are those trees really in your yard? Gosh they're gorgeous!!!
Gosh I can stare at those trees forevah!! :) I LOVE nature, and growing things.. and these trees are so very special and gorgeous1! I'm glad our BnW are living there!! Good luck Elise :))
What a very creative idea! This is awesome! I wish I had something this pretty, but living in NY State right now is a bit on the "YUCK" side of things... The Vegas strip would have been REALLY awesome, so I'll pretend you posted that along with this beautiful plum tree. ha ha.... I wish I could hear bees buzzing, and see things blooming.... ahhhh about another month and then maybe I can. LOL Terrific job Elise!
Hugs

Oh WOW! Elise your tree is GORGEOUS! I love those trees and like Rosette could stare at them forever! :-)
What a great idea with the Las Vegas Strip but I'm glad you didn't .... much much safer this way!!!
Thanks for playing along and good luck to you :-)

Hi Elise,
it's so nice to see that the BnW are already in spring mood. It's such a lovely tree. Thanks for sharing and good luck for the competition. Greetings from Heffalump-Land

Oh, I so love the pics you took! We have two of those trees in our garden as well - but we still have snow here and not one single bloom or leave can be seen. So looking at your pic reminds me of what my own garden will look like in - hopefully - only a few weeks.
Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful home you´ve given to Belle - and for playing in our special challenge!
Hugs,
