What a beautiful way to say thank you.


I received a beautiful  blue hydrangea plant as a thank you gift last week for repairing an ankle zip in a precious pair of track suit bottoms. 

 I'm  rather partial to blue Hydrangeas, but they do tend to turn pink after a year or two year in my garden.    Wrong soil type I believe.


As a  child I remember having  a large bush in our garden, half of it was pink and half blue.
I must have asked my dad why it was two colours.   I do remember him telling me....  to keep them blue you need to plant rusty nails with them at the time of planting.   I guess the nails were planted to one side of the bush in our garden, resulting in it being two colours.

 I don't know if this actually works,  but I'll give it a shot when I plant it up. But I 'll probably buy some bluing up agent too.
I now have the white,  pink and blue variety of hydrangea and I am delighted to have all three colours.  
So  I just had to make a thank you card using the  Because I care   stamp set which contains the hydrangea head stamp.  

Coloured with copic markers.

Thank You Kim I love this Gift.
