I am talking about black and white photos, in which color is added to certain features. For example, they may accentuate blue eyes or pink cheeks. Or they may color accent a flower that the subject is holding. But the rest of the photo is still black and white.
Can I do this at home on my computer? I am using a Kodak digital camera...
Please any help will be appreciated!!
I want to put color accents on my black and white digital photos. How do I do this?
ah...i remember the days when we did it by hand with special markers, but now i use photoshop. i'm no expert, but i've done it two ways--taking color out of a photo and just leaving the pre-existing color in the area where i want it, and the other way is to take a photo that is already black and white and add "artificial" color with the paintbrush. i've had much better results with the first way. i'm self-taught on photoshop, so maybe this isn't the best way, but here is the basic process:
zoom in and draw your marching ants around the photo to select all of the negative space--that is, the portion of the photo that you do not want in color. when that is selected, choose desaturate from the menu and then you can adjust the saturation and tone of the color that is left.
that wasn't very detailed, but if you don't have photoshop i guess it's no help anyway. if you do, i can give you more detailed instructions. :-)
Reply:i dont know but i would love to know.
i always wonder how people do it.
Reply:Photoshop is the usual program used to do this... called selective coloring by the way.
Since you do not have the program, you are kind of out of luck, but I will go ahead and give you the procedure in case you can use it in the future or at another computer with photoshop.
As is true of many procedures in Photoshop, there are several ways of doing selective color. This is a quick and easy method.
First open your photo in PS of course.
Then go to Layer - Duplicate Layer
Click OK
Then go to Image - Adjustments - Hue / Saturation
Drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left to make the photo black and white.
Click OK
Then get the ERASER tool from the tool box on the left side of the screen. It is usually the next tool under the clone stamp tool. Just hover your mouse over the tool, and it will say Eraser.
When you have selected the Eraser, go up to the Brush options box at the top of the screen, and click on the downfacing arrow. Set the Hardness of the brush to 100% so you will have accurate control of selection. You may also need to raise or lower the brush size to suit.
Erase away any black and white from where you want the color to be revealed.
When done go to
Layer - Flatten Image
Then just do a Save As to wherever you want to save the photo.
hope this helps you

I need decorating advice, what type of painting should I hang on my wall?
Currently, I have a large canvas painting in the entrance wall. It is a flower and is bright pink and blue in colour. I want to hang another painting nearby. What colour schemes and styles would compliment it? The painting I have is kind of modern and girly. Thanks

I'd say a polar bear with a red hibiscus over his left ear. He needs to be smiling and holding a corona.
Reply:Georgia O'keefe of flowers on the other side. Or you either find a color scheme of flower that opposite color of what you have on the other painting. Like white, yellows, greens, browns, and purples.
Reply:less is more
Reply:Anything that has similar shades of coulours would look good. If your really unsure, hang something with neutral colours, like soft pink and beige / tan, or soft pink and white.
Reply:hang a piccaso.
Reply:This one's easy...put up something that YOU like!
Reply:Find an original piece of art from a local gallery. It is not necessary to choose art to suit your interior, or to match anything. Choose art because you LOVE it. Only.
Reply:Perhaps something with more white and less bright pink so it balances out the other painting. It would be good if it was some kind of very simple floral. Like an outline of a vase with one flower in it with pink petals. Black outline of the vase/stem.
Reply:Perhaps you should have something masculine to compliment that picture. It provides an assymetrical feeling. I suggest something much more modern like one of the city landscape. Try something a little darker but not with too much. I think it would help it if its nearly completely different but with a slight tint of blue to add as a blending effect. I guess the wall behind it should not be way too vibrantly colored. So try for a soothing scheme so the paintings stick out liek a light blue wall or a yellow wall. maybe pink might work.
Good luck with your decorating.

Flower bouquet for prom?
My prom date is wearing a royal blue dress. I chose to wear a royal blue vest and tie while my blazer is black. I've decided to get her a big bouquet of flowers for our pictures. What color should the flowers be? should it be white roses with a little royal blue flower here and there in between the roses? or should i go for the full royal blue flowers? what is better when taking pictures? and what is better just for show?
Flower bouquet for prom?
for royal blue? you have to check with a florist site to see what holds up in the heat. I'm guessing this is late spring, and it will be out of the 'frigde for many hours. Orchids and gardenias are great, but they brown easily. Carnations hold up forever, but they're cheesey; so are pigmented roses. I'd go for a spray of white roses, white lilies, and whatever the florest recomends for the royal blue. Also, you can vary on the hue of the blues, which will not only be more aesthestically pleasing, but may also help you budget-wise; and will probably complement her dress better than trying to match exactly. Good luck! For your pocket, match hers discreetly.
Reply:well u should get like white roses and with like a beautiful blue one in the middle cause u dont want any one to dink dat u and ur date has a theme color so dont make it all blue just partly....
Reply:Go with the white with the blue in between.
If you go with the solid blue and it doesn't match her dress... it wouldn't look at that great in pics. With the accents though, it would look more like it matched.
Have fun!
Reply:i suggest white roses with a spray of blue tint on them.. it will looks beautiful like im sure your prom date will be

Went to a florist and still confused??
Need some help. Ok my bouqet is setphanois, roses(Champagne? and maybe daisies. The girls dresses are bronze with a creme sash. Wanted to do light blue flowers with them, but the florsit telling me I have to do fake flowers because the hydrendas need to hydraded. Love the colors champange and light blue?? Any ideas. Pics would help too.
Went to a florist and still confused??
Any white flower can be dyed light blue. You are going to be a June bride, and the florist can't get hydrengas? You need a new florist.
Reply:Hydrangeas are water-loving flowers - they wilt extremely quickly if they don't have a water source. They wouldn't make it through your ceremony so you could take pictures afterwards. To combat this, many florists put hydrangeas in a water pick so that they have a constant source of water - this is basically just a little tube of water that the stem stays in. Then, they just have to cover up the water tubes by wrapping the bottom of your bouquet.
Also, the florist can't control what color the hydrangeas come in - sometimes the blue ones will come in with some pink on the petals or some slight gold. The florist can use flower dye and spray the petals whatever color blue you want them though.
I am having a bouquet of white roses, hydrageas, and delphiniums.

Reply:i have seen hydrangeas in bouquets before...she's pulling your leg.
Reply:You want to use hydrangeas, then use them as centerpieces where they can stay in water. But just b/c you can't use those in your bouquet doesn't mean you can't have light blue flowers. There are TONS of light blue flowers. You have to have fake if you have to have hydrangeas. I think light blue and champagne is beautiful. The florist is suppose to give suggestions as to what is in season, how to exchange flowers to stay within your budget, and how to arrange them to be beautiful. No florist just orders "blue" and expects brides to be ok no matter what color it is. Light blue is not complicated--it's not like you asked him to dye them magenta or you are going to throw a fit if it's baby blue instead of Carolina blue. If that florist can't give you any suggestions, go to someone else!
This guy is either ignorant or trying to scam you. Go to yahoo images and download some pictures of what you like. Take in about 7 or 8 pictures to give a florist a visual clue of what you want. However a florist should have a bunch of pictures of prior arrangements to give you an idea too. I really thing this guy has no idea what he is talking about.
Reply:I suggest you go to a different florist. Florists are supposed to be able to provide you with suggestions and alternatives.
It is true that hydrangeas will wilt--they are water loving flowers. However, all they need to do is put them in the water filled vials and wrap that with ribbon and they should be fine. In addition, flowers can be dyed and hydrangeas do come in light blue.

Trust me no one will be able to tell.
Reply:Hydrangeas simply need to be capped with little water filled pods on the stem, this is what my florist is doing, then simply bounding those in the ribbon and pearls being used on my bouquet. She is right they will dry out, but any competent florist would know there is other options. I suggest you find someone a little more expert in their field.
Buy the way the hydrangeas that are blue are called lace cap blue. At least the ones I am using. I read your question yesterday and actually pulled out my florist guide of all the flowers she could get for me, these are the two nice pale blue flowers I found.

Searching for a particular water color on silk painting of his. He has over 300 so its particularly hard for me to find myself hoping for some help. He usually paints bamboo with flowers and a bird or sometimes no flowers but a bird. the particular one im looking for is a blue bird on a twig and bamboo and leaves with different blue hues and a beige background.

How do the chemicals that change the color of hydrangeas work?
Ok so i know that hydrangeas growing in more acidic soil will be blue as long as there is aluminum present, which can be done by adding aluminum sulfate, and hydrangeas growing in more alkaline soil will be pink as long as there isn't a lot of aluminum present, which can be done by adding dolomitic lime. But does anyone know of any websites that i can find HOW these different chemicals change the color, like the chemical process and how it affects the color pigments in the flower? THANKS!

Need suggestions for wedding flowers....?
Hi all! You've helped me before so here I am again. :)
My wedding colors are Azalea and Blue Velvet (bridesmaid dresses are from David's Bridal in those colors) and my accent color is silver. I have 4 bridesmaids and we have 4 groomsmen (this does include Matron of Honor and Best Man). My girls are wearing the same dress but two in Azalea and two are in the Blue velvet. The groomsmen will be wearing the matching vest of the girl's dress they are walking with. On the top of my dress there is silver lace etching so my fiance will be wearing a silver vest to match me.
We are trying to not go too expensive and I definitely would like fresh flowers.
I am meeting with the florist on Saturday and would just like to go in with some kind of idea of what could be in my budget.
Any ideas for those colors would be greatly appreciated!
Need suggestions for wedding flowers....?
get dipped roses. im having a bunch of colors in mine, but i want a lot of white too. what im doing is getting fresh white roses and having them TIPPED in all my colors. that way you still see all the white, but looking at my boquet, you see color accents on all the roses. im also using some gladyolas, they are so pretty and wedding-y! good luck!
Reply:Your florist is the best person to give you advice. I'm sure you'll have color swatches with you, and that will help in making your decision. Your colors sound lovely.
I don't know what the shades of blue are. In my daughter's wedding, her bridesmaids wore "navy blue," but it was more of a subtle, lovely "toned down" royal blue. It wasn't the dark, somber color that we all know as "navy."
She, too, was on a budget. Her bridesmaid carried 3 white roses with sprays of blue delphinium and accents of long, slender lariope grass. The boquets were tied with sheer, white ribbon in a pale ivory color to match the roses. They were lovely.
There are many pretty, suitable flowers that will not wreck your budget.
I'm sure you'll have a beautiful wedding!
Reply:Just explain the situation to the florist. They will use larger flowers in the colors you specify to keep costs down.
If you allow them more wiggle room, and don't come in with a specific idea, you'll get a better price.
Remember, you are paying for their expertise. If you're not confident in their abilities, go somewhere else.
Reply:For something different, you could have the bridesmaids carry a bouquet of only fresh baby's breath. I think that would be beautiful.
And you could do the same and put some silver and blue accents in there and use a silver or blue ribbon to wrap the bouquet.
Congrats and best wishes for a happy life!
Reply:blue hydrangeas. They look beautiful in pictures. You can mix in some greenery and white stephanoctis (sp?) with maybe some white calla lillies or roses. I think there is also a variety of blue peonies. Blue irises are gorgeous as well. Remember, the flowers can be a complimentary color. They don't have to be blue or have blue elements if you don't want them to, but here are some beautiful bouquets I found on theknot.com. You can search by color. Check out these pics for some ideas:

Reply:Stick to a flower color scheme of whites, creams, ivorys and champagne colors accented with silver ribbons.
Reply:Ok apparently I'm the odd ball. I don't think with that much blue you should carry blue flowers. I think it should stand out against the dresses.
Canary yellow flowers would pop against those dresses (especially the blue velvet).
Perhaps a blush pink rose arrangement.
I really like the konfetti roses (i think thats how they are spelled). They really pop
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffclow/35...
With the azalea being so bright a color (love it btw), perhaps do a muted flower like the purples/blues they had above. Or a more blush rose with only the tips pink. I think its a Nicole Floribunda rose or a Gemini tea rose.
Calla lily is a very popular wedding flower and comes in all colors too. I used flame tipped calla lilies in mine. It also had bear grass in the arrangements. I love arrangements with the different grasses.

But they also come in the bold yellow like this
http://www.flickr.com/photos/airchild/44...
Plus for your bouquet you could get some in that exact same bold as the azalea dress
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahardcastle...
Plus they are normally in white so you can have white as well in your bouquet or for the bouts.
Of course since the dresses are so different in colors, they probably shouldn't all carry the same bouquet. It should probably be very different for the blue velvet as the azalea. Those are both so eye popping that if you can, I'd take a fabric swatch of each dress to the florist so that you can show him the colors. If not, at least take your laptop.
Hope this helps!
Reply:Cala lilies are beautiful!!! You can use one big cala lily wrapped in silver wire accented with Azalea and blue velvet. It looks great. I saw it at a wedding this last winter. You can also put some around your cake.

My wedding colors are Azalea and Blue Velvet (bridesmaid dresses are from David's Bridal in those colors) and my accent color is silver. I have 4 bridesmaids and we have 4 groomsmen (this does include Matron of Honor and Best Man). My girls are wearing the same dress but two in Azalea and two are in the Blue velvet. The groomsmen will be wearing the matching vest of the girl's dress they are walking with. On the top of my dress there is silver lace etching so my fiance will be wearing a silver vest to match me.
We are trying to not go too expensive and I definitely would like fresh flowers.
I am meeting with the florist on Saturday and would just like to go in with some kind of idea of what could be in my budget.
Any ideas for those colors would be greatly appreciated!
Need suggestions for wedding flowers....?
get dipped roses. im having a bunch of colors in mine, but i want a lot of white too. what im doing is getting fresh white roses and having them TIPPED in all my colors. that way you still see all the white, but looking at my boquet, you see color accents on all the roses. im also using some gladyolas, they are so pretty and wedding-y! good luck!
Reply:Your florist is the best person to give you advice. I'm sure you'll have color swatches with you, and that will help in making your decision. Your colors sound lovely.
I don't know what the shades of blue are. In my daughter's wedding, her bridesmaids wore "navy blue," but it was more of a subtle, lovely "toned down" royal blue. It wasn't the dark, somber color that we all know as "navy."
She, too, was on a budget. Her bridesmaid carried 3 white roses with sprays of blue delphinium and accents of long, slender lariope grass. The boquets were tied with sheer, white ribbon in a pale ivory color to match the roses. They were lovely.
There are many pretty, suitable flowers that will not wreck your budget.
I'm sure you'll have a beautiful wedding!
Reply:Just explain the situation to the florist. They will use larger flowers in the colors you specify to keep costs down.
If you allow them more wiggle room, and don't come in with a specific idea, you'll get a better price.
Remember, you are paying for their expertise. If you're not confident in their abilities, go somewhere else.
Reply:For something different, you could have the bridesmaids carry a bouquet of only fresh baby's breath. I think that would be beautiful.
And you could do the same and put some silver and blue accents in there and use a silver or blue ribbon to wrap the bouquet.
Congrats and best wishes for a happy life!
Reply:blue hydrangeas. They look beautiful in pictures. You can mix in some greenery and white stephanoctis (sp?) with maybe some white calla lillies or roses. I think there is also a variety of blue peonies. Blue irises are gorgeous as well. Remember, the flowers can be a complimentary color. They don't have to be blue or have blue elements if you don't want them to, but here are some beautiful bouquets I found on theknot.com. You can search by color. Check out these pics for some ideas:

Reply:Stick to a flower color scheme of whites, creams, ivorys and champagne colors accented with silver ribbons.
Reply:Ok apparently I'm the odd ball. I don't think with that much blue you should carry blue flowers. I think it should stand out against the dresses.
Canary yellow flowers would pop against those dresses (especially the blue velvet).
Perhaps a blush pink rose arrangement.
I really like the konfetti roses (i think thats how they are spelled). They really pop
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffclow/35...
With the azalea being so bright a color (love it btw), perhaps do a muted flower like the purples/blues they had above. Or a more blush rose with only the tips pink. I think its a Nicole Floribunda rose or a Gemini tea rose.
Calla lily is a very popular wedding flower and comes in all colors too. I used flame tipped calla lilies in mine. It also had bear grass in the arrangements. I love arrangements with the different grasses.

But they also come in the bold yellow like this
http://www.flickr.com/photos/airchild/44...
Plus for your bouquet you could get some in that exact same bold as the azalea dress
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahardcastle...
Plus they are normally in white so you can have white as well in your bouquet or for the bouts.
Of course since the dresses are so different in colors, they probably shouldn't all carry the same bouquet. It should probably be very different for the blue velvet as the azalea. Those are both so eye popping that if you can, I'd take a fabric swatch of each dress to the florist so that you can show him the colors. If not, at least take your laptop.
Hope this helps!
Reply:Cala lilies are beautiful!!! You can use one big cala lily wrapped in silver wire accented with Azalea and blue velvet. It looks great. I saw it at a wedding this last winter. You can also put some around your cake.
Click on link below to view some pictures. They are awesome.

You can get it in most colors but I recommend it in ivory.
It is so rich looking.

Are dandelion leaves(the ones that are in your backyard and everywhere) good for blue tongue lizards (10point)
also if them leaves of the yellow dandelion flower can be edible by blue tongue lizards does it count as the leafy / vegetable / plant matter part of its diet???????? i want to know thankyouu
i will choose a best answer as soon as actually get answers lol

Dandelion leaves would be one of the better greens to give your blue tongue lizard. Dandelions have over 103 mg of calcium per cup compared to romaine lettuce which only has about 20 mg of calcium per cup..
http://www.carrotcafe.com/f/calevel.html
Just wanted to add, it will only count towards the leafy plant matter part of it's diet. It will still have to have other veggies too.
Here's a good guide to read through,
http://bluetongueskinks.net/blue.htm
they have the best greens, fruits and veggies listed out for you..
Reply:I know they are great for a salad, not sure about your reptile, I know for most its safe, however I would double check with a website.
Reply:We just adopted in a blue tongued skink. I have heard that dandelion greens are good for them and that they love them.
Here is something that I would like to add though. Make sure if you are getting them from your yard that:
They have not been sprayed with any insecticide or any type fertilizer has not been used on or near them. Else you could very well poison your lizard.
Reply:Lizards LOVE dandelions, and they are very good for them.
BUT, I wouldn't be so keen on feeding the ones from your hard. The problem is people use chemicals on their grass, and it can grow into the plant causing it to be toxic.
You would be best to grow your own indoors. Although, I've been able to find them at a few organic stores.
Reply:humans can drink dandelion tea and take dandelion pills so i have to say, it sounds fine for your lizard!
Reply:Dandelion leaves will not do ur lizard any harm! Yes it counts as leafy plant matter, and (just to be sure i checked up on teh internet) and 1 of my friends used 2 have a blue tongues lizard and apparently they love them! Hope this helps! x

I am trying to find out how to identify two figurines?
Both appear to be porcelin and both or about 8 inches in higth. The male is playing a flute ,wearing bob style pants and leaning against a tree stump. The Female is holding a basket of flowers and leaning against the same type of tree stump. both have a round base about 3 inches with the number 6054 in blue ink stamped undereneath the bottom, There is a gold leaf or swirl at the base and 5 small tic marks past the leaf on each ( appears just decrotive but not sure. ) they are both very detail and dainty.
I am trying to find out how to identify two figurines?
If the stamp is legible, try looking on eBay to see if anyone is selling anything similar. Otherwise, you are going to have to go to an antique dealer to get some knowledge out of them. One other place you could try... there is the Antiques Roadshow where they identify, date and price objects, maybe they would want to help you out. Probably the best way to get info is to go to the Barnes and Noble and look through the Antiques/Collectible books....they have lots of references and you can sit in there and browse to see if you can find your items.

Flowers for my prom date?
I went to a prom with with this one terrific girl last year, and I want to send her some flowers next month. But I don't know anything about flowers, so I need some help picking out right flower. ok, here are my questions.
1) What kind of flower? Rose?
2) What color? - Please read the additional information below
3) How many of them? (Some people say a dozen is perfect, other people say odd number always work great... i'm confused.)
4) What would be sweet to write on the card?
Hm...for some additional information... She's just one of my friends, we're not in a romantic relationship. She wore sky blue dress on the prom day...(which is my favorite color by the way!)
I guess that's it.
Thanks, and please know that I always give 5 stars to the best answer!
Flowers for my prom date?
It is wonderful of you to want to send the girl you went to prom with some flowers. I don't think I ever heard of anyone from my graduating class ever receiving flowers a year after a prom in rememberance of the time. You don't say if you are wanting to get back together or just want to say friends. The color would determine this. If you want to get back together something in red or pink. If just friends something in yellow. As to the number I would say just a dozen or half dozen would be fine because that shows you really care for her or like her. Odd number has nothing to do with it. As to what to say, you could write, "I just wanted to mark the day of our prom date where we had such a wonderful time."
Reply:Have red suronding one white one! [rose] Report It
Reply:you should give her a lily flower. it should be pink cause most girls like pink. and on the card you should say something about prom, like ''oh i had fun with you at prom'' or thanks for coming with me to prom'' something like that. and how many flowers should depend on how much you had fun.
Reply:well good to hear this, ok well write something sweet but short like a little wish or something, and pink roses would be better, and put one red rose in the middle of the bouquet, and get a 11 pink and one red, hope this helps and wht acoincidence sky blue iz my favorite color too!
Reply:Send her three red roses with a special note. Write something nice and she will be thrilled to death if she likes you.
Reply:hmm...qood question.
yea i'd say roses.

i like the white roses.but thats just me.
a cute lil poem on the card.a simple line.us girls always go for that stuff.
aw!thats so sweet btw!
Reply:match the flowers with her dress bro. only get red flowers if youre trying to get your freak on. carnations are the norm, roses too. get her some exotic flowers, lillys are awesome and look great on a girls wrist. purple tigerlillys are excellent man.
on the card write,
Thank you for making my night the best ever.
or something corny like that. shell love it.
Reply:Perhaps the flowers you gave her at prom OR do something skyblue... though blue flowers are hard to find. I'd suggest hydrangia, because they have some AMAZING sky blue colors. Be wary of any flowers that are colored... they don't last long. You can tell they are colored with food coloring if the stems have dashes of color through them. The number really shouldn't matter.
For a card, you'd want a card for friends, and say something sweet. Perhaps remind her of how much fun you had and what a great friend she has been over the years! Perhaps the photo or cover of the card could contain one of her favorite subjects (animals, flowers, sports). Really you know her best so follow your senses!
Reply:I think you should go with a red rose. Also I would go with about a dozen of them. I really can't say what you should write on the card. Let it come from your heart. I hope i answered your questions!
Reply:if she is just your friend and u dont want it to be nothing else do not self her flowers and get the signals mixed up a simple thanks will do or a card saying thanks as well flowers might give her a mixed signal and she might think tha you like her as a gf

Advice about preventing color ink from fading on my first tattoo?
I want to get a floral design on my inner thigh with bright blue, purple, pink/red, orange and green with a black outline and maybe some white inside the flowers for shading.
Since the placement of the tattoo will be covered 95% of the time, I don't think sun exposure will be a major problem. I heard certain colors such as white and orange fade and disappear. What brand of ink is the best to keep color from fading?
Also, I'd like to have a tatt with glow in the dark ink but have heard bad things about it. How long would it last? What are the negatives?
Advice about preventing color ink from fading on my first tattoo?
If you have a myspace account go to Kat Von D's husband Olivers page and he has all kinds of info on there that can help you. I used his methods on my last tat and it looks sooo much better than the other ones I have. Good luck and enjoy your new ink
Reply:use a good sunscreen when it is not covered. lots of lotion
Reply:i got a orange tiger on my bk an i used Vaseline for the 1st wk after ad it dun as that's wot i wr told an iv ad it dun bout 4 yrs its fine, but ull prob have to get it recoloured every few yrs I'm afraid, i think UV ink lasts a few yrs
Reply:when i got mine (and it has a lot of colors), the first month i washed it with antibacterial soap and didn't dry it with a towel, 'cause towels have dead skin cells which could affect your tattoo. instead, dry it with paper towel.
the first 3 days, you'll have to wash it a least 3 times daily. after doing so, put a thin layer of A+D on it (but only for the first 3 days, this is a strong product). after the 3rd day, just use a skin cream that has vitamin A and E. i got mine 5 years ago and to this day i still apply cream to it everyday, and the colors are just as bright as the first month.
regarding the ink, most of it are vegetable ink which has minerals and other stuff we have on our skin, so don't worry much about that. just make sure you find an artist who can make your design exactly as you want it. i you take care of your tattoo, you'll never regret having it.

What kind of flower pot would be cool for this kind of person?
For an end-of-the-year gift for each of my teachers, I'm painting a flower pot. However, I have no clue what to paint on my Language Arts/Reading teacher's flower pot. I'll explain her and you can give me some ideas.
- She likes snowboarding and blading (in the winter.)
- She likes Jack Russels (she has one.)
- She likes the color green.
- She doesn't like flowery things or girly colors (pink, lavender, light blue.)
- She likes to play Scrabble (but she isn't absessed with it.)
- She's really funny.
- She likes gardening.
Those are the things I know about her. It's pretty sad I only know that much because she was my sixth grade teacher, my 7th grade Reading and Language Arts teacher, and my 8th grade Reading and language Arts teacher. I have three main teachers because at our school, we don't have a different teacher for each subject- there aren't enough classes and teachers for that, it's a Catholic School (there are ten people in my class, including me.)
It would be nice if anyone could give me ideas (pictures are also VERY HELPFUL!!!)
Thanks in advance!
What kind of flower pot would be cool for this kind of person?
What a wonderful idea. I loved Laura's idea of spelling something out in Scrabble letters. if you have these letters you could glue them on with a craft glue.
Maybe have an outdoor scene with different seasons, one being winter with a person on a snowboard, maybe spring with a Jack Russel with a gardening glove or shovel in his mouth..like he's running, summer could be her screaming "School's Out For Summer" (make her hair look kind of crazy or her hands waving or her dancing...show movement), fall could be an apple with "The Best Teacher Ever" on it...maybe that could be the Scrabble part.
If this seems hard you can always decoupage it. Decoupage is when you basically glue pictures, cut outs from magazines, buttons, little trinkets, Scrabble letters...anything on it and then put a thin layer of glue over it.
Good Luck!
Reply:I would paint scrabble letters that spell out positive and motivational words. Maybe even words that would motivate her as a teacher like education, learning, imagination. You could paint your background green if she likes the color.
By the way, very thoughtful gift for you teachers!
Reply:How about a few flowers with a green background?
- She likes snowboarding and blading (in the winter.)
- She likes Jack Russels (she has one.)
- She likes the color green.
- She doesn't like flowery things or girly colors (pink, lavender, light blue.)
- She likes to play Scrabble (but she isn't absessed with it.)
- She's really funny.
- She likes gardening.

Is it ok to wear the follow dress to a wedding?
The wedding is next weekend, in the afternoon.
I found a dress that is very "sping" like. It is an off white color with light blue and tan flowers on it.
I know I am not supposed to wear white and I completly forgot.
Help?!
Is it ok to wear the follow dress to a wedding?
Do you have a picture of it? If the flowers are big and take up a lot of the material space so that white is just really the secondary background color I would think that it might be ok, but if the flowers are small and you mainly see a white dress, I would say no.
I would also say this, if you are unsure, err to the side of caution and get another dress, the last thing you want to do is commit an extreme faux pas like wearing white to a wedding when you are not the bride, so if you cant decide, then just dont wear it.
Post a link to a picture of the dress so we can see.
Reply:That sounds great, shrug or not. Any patterned is fine, that doesn't "count" as white.
Reply:It sounds perfectly fine.
Reply:It'll be just fine - it sounds more floral
Reply:The dress sounds fine. I mean you arent showing up in a full white long dress. I would think that people wouldnt mistaken you for the bride... Is it short or long? that would make a difference too...
Reply:I would return it and get a new dress. Even if you got that blue shrug, youre not going to want to wear it the whole time, but you will feel self-conscious when you dont.
Reply:sounds fine to me
Reply:As long as it's not solid white or wedding dress like that sounds fine.
Reply:I think that you should be able to wear it. It's not like you've got an all white dress. It's off white with BLUE and TAN flowers on it. You're fine! I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe find some light blue shoes to match.
Edit: I agree with the more recent person to answer as well, post a picture. Better idea then! :)
Reply:As long as it is an off white color it should be fine. The traditions have kind of fallen off. You aren't suppose to wear black and red along with white to a wedding, but people do. So go ahead and wear that spring dress.

Where can I get information on antique creamers made in germany?
cat creamer or kitten blue with hat and small flowers on it.
a pelican or crow creamer with tux on with a eye glass on left eye
Where can I get information on antique creamers made in germany?
Is there a maker's mark printed on the underside? If so, do an Internet search for that name. Sometimes you can just type in "cat creamer" and there may be information out there for you. There are also some sites on collectables that allow you to write in specific questions. Try "Ruby Lane".

Morning glories?
Again I see this last frost thing.. I am in zone 6 and I am looking for like a point in a month that would be safe to plant these seeds.. I am also trying to think of a flower that would look good with them that doesnt grow so high.. The seeds that I have are supposed to produce blue flowers.. so something thats either blue or white that would coordinate well? Thank you!
Morning glories?
You are safe to plant morning glory seeds in the ground somewhat before your last frost date, I've done it 2 or 3 weeks earlier (in zone 4) and they've done great. Many varieties self sow which means those seeds are in the ground all through the long cold winter. I do recommend soaking yours overnight though. They take a while to germinate anyway and the sooner you get them started the sooner they'll bloom.. The blue ones especially seem to take forever to start blooming though they are worth the wait. They also aren't as invasive or as likely to self sow as other types.
As far as what to plant with them, if you're looking for perennials tall garden phlox which comes in many shades, including white, would be lovely, as would Balloon flower (Platycodon, Fuji Blue). Moonbeam Coreopsis is a pretty, soft yellow and doesn't get as tall as either of the other two. Actually all 3 would look great together with the morning glories.
For annuals you might try annual salvia in the Victoria Blue variety with maybe Carpet of Snow alyssum. The salvia only gets about 15" and the alyssum is a groundcover so if you want more height than that perhaps look at Cosmos. I think the Sensation mix would look terrific but it is shades of rose and pink as well as white. You can get just white though too, and that would be a pretty, airy screen in front of your morning glories.
Well, I could run on and on. I love thinking of plant combinations. It's one of the best parts of gardening. If you want more ideas feel free to e-mail me. Oh, and don't let anyone tell you not to grow morning glories. They are entirely manageable if you just stay on top of them and, like I said, I doubt you'll have any trouble at all with the Heavenly Blues. Enjoy!
Reply:If you have never grown morning glories before, be careful. They can get out of hand and take over everything and be impossible to get rid of. I inherited a morning glory problem and it gets worse and worse each year, no matter what I try to curtail it.
Reply:the morning glories you are talking about are an annual plant and do not get out of hand. there is a wild plant also called morning glory ( take all, field/hedge bindweed, and some other names, local names) there is also a short variety of the same type plant
Reply:forget-me-not is a blue flower and they come up every year and they are beautyful they will go well with your morning glorys.
