Rose Garden Marker Stones

Yesterday, I decided to try my hand at making these marker stones. I want to label the names of my roses -I think the names of roses add to their beauty as well ( I have a rose that is called Bees Knees--love that name!!). I saw these stones being made on Rebecca's Garden and thought that they would be perfect for the rose garden! I really had a hard time finding the kit. Supposedly Joann has them but none of the stores carried it. So I had to order the kits on line. They do offer many different kinds of kits to choose from. I got it from Amazon. The kit made only enough for 3 stones. But it tells you what kind of cement to buy to make more.

These are the names of 3 roses that I have.

I'm back!

ok--It's been almost a year and a half since I last posted. I'm going to have a new lease on life. I have been inspired by my daughters-in-law's blog sites, my husband, and staying in touch with friends and family! So this site will still have stuff about my ever changing garden, but also about my family, our big renovation on our old in desperate need of repair 1930's house, plans and ideas as to what to do with our 9 acres, and anything else that might be of interest. I also will post lots of pictures--if I can remember how! I love to hear from all of you so please, please make lots of comments!
