\"BlueI had plans Saturday.\u00c2\u00a0 Things to do, places to be, people to see.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0However, before I started into that, I decided to spend a moment trying to create a floral graphic for the “Growing Gifts” application in Facebook.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Big mistake<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I should state here that I don’t really like<\/em> Facebook – I don’t take the funky tests, I don’t\"Clematis\" join in all the hearts and hugs and hidden egg applications.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I mostly just check in now and then, because it has<\/em> enabled me to reconnect with a few friends from the past.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there is one Facebook application I really like – Growing Gifts<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Basically, you choose from a selection of graphic flowers (using seeds you earn by tending to others gardens) <\/em>and send them to your friends.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I like this app…\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 because I love gardens and flowers.<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/p>\n

They have some lovely flowers to choose from -\u00c2\u00a0but also some very boring ones.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0I decided to try my hand at designing an interesing offering to submit to Growing Gifts, and created the blue honeywort plant <\/em>(aka blue\u00c2\u00a0shrimp plant) in the purple pot.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 And after finishing that one, had an idea for another… and then another… and another…..\u00c2\u00a0 and I never made it out of my house.\u00c2\u00a0 \"Oriental<\/p>\n

(Acutally I did – but just to the garden where I planted a few real flowers).<\/em><\/p>\n

So I completely wasted my day obsessing and making garden graphics. But I was<\/em> pleasantly surprised at how they turned out, and submitted them for review\/acceptance.\u00c2\u00a0 They’ve been getting a good response from the design team and I think they’ll be accepted.\u00c2\u00a0 \"Cosmos\"But I have no idea how long it will be before they show up in the application, could be months….\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

So I’m sharing them with you now.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Enjoy your flowers from me.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite?<\/p>\n

Oh… and Happy Mothers Day!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
