In a Secret Garden
The idea for this page came my friend CAROL who runs a craft shop called THE CUBBY HOLE in my home town. On her blog there is an ongoing challenge theme of THE SECRET GARDEN.
The flowers are from THE OCTOPODE FACTORY first rubber stamp release (just the flower heads, I added the stems and leaves)
As a child I read the book THE SECRET GARDEN by Frances Hodgson Burnett.....I looked the book up and was surprised to find that its working title had been MISTRESS MARY apparently referring to the nursery rhyme MARY MARY QUITE CONTRARY which in itself has an interesting history alternately being said to refer to Mary Queen of Scots, Mary 1 of England or Catholicism!....click the links if you want to read more.
I wrote the nursery rhyme along the flower stems.

Love those flowers, great idea to write the rhyme along the stems.
The cathedral looks amazing in the snow - well worth getting cold to capture it.
Fab flowers Sue, again your journalling words are looking good !!

sue....love your take on the theme. All your pages are great though!
Lovely to hear about the inspiration behind this - The Secret Garden was one of my childhood favourites. Think I empathised with the grumpy child .....
Great page, love the flowers. Beautiful photo as well. :)
This is a great page,Sue. There is so much detail in it. I didn't know that Carol, had a challenge blog! Must go and pull at 'that man's' ear ;)
