Flowers

Look at this beautiful butterfly that came to visit my butterfly bush!

I just love lavender, don't you? There are three varieties planted in my back yard and this year I'm going to try to make lavender oil. It is so soothing and calming.

These pretty flowers make me happy.

I'm trying to buy mostly perennials for my gardens but it's always so tempting to purchase the beautiful annuals that I see everywhere.

I'm going to Oklahoma City this week to take another one of Jackie's *fabulous* classes at The Paper Crown. Wait until you see what we are making. It's going to be fun. :) Enjoy this short week!

Gorgeous butterfly photo! I love to watch them... my mom always loved them, guess that's why I'm so fond of them.

Eager to see what you create at The Paper Crown - be sure and share with us!!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
