I picked a really pretty image of something I had been wanting to try for Debbiedoos Magazine Copycat Challenge. I loved this image, how simple right?
I right away saw that my macro lens isn't as good as the magazine photographer's lens. But, the more I layer my photo with other objects the better results I get. A single subject tends to go flat with my lens.
Lavender sugar is really easy to make. You just take a cup of regular sugar and place 2 tablespoons of organic lavender buds in the jar. Seal tight and in a few weeks you can spoon out the flavored sugar for tea or baking. Sift out the lavender buds unless desired in baking.
Enjoy!
