gifts from the garden

trimming back the potted plants is necessary to keep them healthy as we move through the hot Texas summer.  naturally, I keep the trimmings and place them in my kitchen window in jars of water to root.  but I don’t really need any new plants, so I’ve been giving some away to family and coworkers.

it’s good karma, in my opinion, to share gifts from the garden.

my little plant-to-go containers are made from junk mail paper.  I wrap 2 catalog pages around a small jar, tape the folds to secure and trim the tops.  then I add 2 more round discs cut from heavier scrap paper in the bottom of each paper cup, to give it some durability before transplanting the young plant.

then I just tie a scrap fabric band around the paper cup, add a banner made from a toothpick and send the plant on its way.

well, I’m off to the store to get another jar of Mod Podge for my collage project.  it is nearly complete and I am very excited about the progress.

happy weekend to everyone 🙂 and thank you for reading!
