Ladybug! Ladybug! Fly Away Home!

I am so sick of the weather we are having in Northern Nevada. It is changing like crazy and  I am afraid to plant my flowers. I don't want them to freeze or fly away with the nasty wind storms that keep occurring. So, while I am waiting for the weather to make up it's mind I made something cute to go in my flower beds.  

I am a sucker for ladybugs! I made 7 of these adorable bugs out yard pavers. They were very simple and add so much character to my flower bed. I got the idea from my crafting partner in crime, SADY! For Christmas she gave me pictures of projects that we are making each month. She didn't have a picture of a ladybug paver, but she had a skunk and snowman. So my little brain started thinking and I decided on the lad bugs. I am also planning on making a pumpkin patch for the fall time to hand out in my flower bed. Oh the endless possibilities these pavers have!
