I love crafting and I love gardening ... hence my name was created. I've always used the name Crafty Gardener at message boards and my personal website
craftygardener.ca
Gardening is just one important part of my life. Family is the most important part. There is crafting, reading, sewing, genealogy, and all the other little things that make our life interesting and important. I'm also a collector of all sorts of things.
I live close to the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario, Canada, where my garden zone is 5b. Now that is 5b in the Canadian way of determining gardening zone. Don't get confused with the USDA way in which my garden would be 4b. My gardens are mainly perennial beds with lots of annuals growing in containers.
I'm always in the garden taking all sorts of photos of the flowers, the bugs, the birds, the sky and anything else that I think will take a good photo.
My blog now is a combination of the blogs I used to maintain. Keeping them separte meant that I had a split personality and I was trying to keep the various sides of me apart. But we all know that all parts of our lives intersect and overlap, so I combined all of the blogs into one. You can access each part of me by using the links at the top of the blog.
My posts don't go into lots of detail about my personal life ... that is private. What they do share are photos, interesting facts about my garden, and my craft projects.
I really appreciate it when you leave me a comment. I think it is wonderful that some of you think of me when passing on an award or a meme. If you like my blog, please just leave me a message telling me so. Then I'll visit your blog and say thanks. So please don't get upset if I don't display the award you are passing on. Just know that I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

From one simple pin an image can end up in any number of places with no links attached to it and then others start posting them to their own blogs without any permission. And before you know it they don't belong to you anymore. Just enjoy them here on my blog and save the link if you want to revisit again.
