Girly Pennant Banner

Just had to share how cute this little banner turned out!
It was a gift from an Aunt to her Niece for her birthday
to hang in her room.  I wish my picture did it justice~you know me, I'm never good at snapping pictures when I'm trying to whisk things out the door into the mail.
Not only did I love it but now my daughter is requesting~well, more like ordering me to make one
for her room.  Of course it's going to have to have owls on it.....boy I'm going to have to think about how to put that one together!

I got a few more Easter sets done and cut out a few extra bunny silhouettes from our Wood You Like To Craft project this month.

  I've felt like I've had an extra oomph to me with the beautiful sunshine and weather lately.  Don't you just love spring!?

Spring Things

I have felt like for four years now

I have focused on my little business and

everything else has taken a back seat.

Which means my house has a multitude of repairs

that need to be done, a yard/garden left in despair

and complete disorganization on my part.

Those of you who have come by my house are witness to this.

So I apologize in my lack of blogging,

I've been busy working with wood and recapturing my chaos.:)

My house may still be a bit crazy but my garden is looking

pretty darn good if I do say so!
Above is a peek at all those tulips I told you guys about
that I planted at Christmas time~aren't they so pretty!

I totally forgot to show a couple of pics from the
Spring boutique which was so fun!!

I seriously love everything about spring,
the colors alone just make me happy.

Here's my little display!

I just loved how these bunnies turned out!

Thanks to all of you who came out to support me at the Holiday House Boutique!

I just love working with those gals and this spring boutique

surely didn't disappoint!

I walked away with many goodies I found there!

School is out this week and I will be grateful for the relief

of running back and forth as a taxi.

I've got great plans for this fall/winter season

that I can't wait to share with you!

Spring Chicks

Today the first little chicks hatched from their eggs

in my daughter's classroom

and I admit it gave me goosebumps to see them!

SOOOOOO Cute!

Also, what an AMAZING Teacher!

We never did cool stuff like that in school when I was a kid.

Thought I'd share a picture of the spring chicks I did up

for the Spring Boutique a week ago.

Can I just say I'm still exhausted.

I went back and calculated the hours of sleep

I got that week from Monday to Friday

and it was lucky if it was even 10 hours.

I have been a walking zombie

and after prepping for Teacher Appreciation week

here it is 6:30 and I'm already to crawl into bed.

(headed over to post some pictures on the CraftySisters blog)

I also wanted to give a big

THANKS!!!!

To all of you who came out to support our fun boutique!

There was lots of cute stuff there!

I'm an emotional person anyway

but when I hear from so many of you who have

become my friends through this unexpected business of mine,

it means a lot and

I just want you to know how much I appreciate you

and how blessed I am to be able to work with such amazing people.

Thank You!

On a funnier and more embarrassing note.....

I just realized last week that I've been spelling

Mod Podge as

Modge Podge.

Yup, turn me into the grammar police....

I'm sure someone already has.

Don't I feel like a dork!:)

Dear Mother, All Flowers Remind Me of You

Just in time for Mother's Day

is my version of easy gardening!

I knew as soon as I saw the new Basic Grey Paper and the cute flowers on the paper

that this was what I needed to make!

My little girl had so much helping pick out all the buttons for the flowers!

I'll be teaching a class on these in April down at Paper Cottage

and hopefully get some ready for my Etsy shop too!

Last week's Boutique was really fun!

My sister Candace and I were so busy trying to make fun stuff to share!

We were up to our eyeballs in moss, eggs and bunnies!

 

 I just love making bunnies!

Here's a picture of some that I made for it.

We wanted to share a little bit of our fun projects and offered a set for our

First Official Giveaway over at Crafty Sisters!

Thank you to all of you wondeful Ladies who have sent in pictures!

I have some more to post this week so we can all marvel at your great creativity!

Seriously, I love seeing what you put together, call it a guilty pleasure of mine!

Keep em' coming!
