Easter Goodness!!!


Take a peak at this super sweet little "Happy Spring" Easter banner that I designed and made!!! This was a fun little project that where I created egg shaped spring colored polka-dots, bunny backsides (note the puffy little tail), spring stripes and a "Happy Spring" egg for the center of the banner. Want one for yourself? This is what you do:

1. Go to my SCRIBD site and download the Happy Spring Banner



2. Print on heavy bright white card stock from your home computer (for best color, make sure you place color print setting on "best"
3. Cut out oval eggs
4. Take single hole punch and punch 2 holes at the top of each egg
5. String eggs on ribbon or string - in any pattern that you would like. I used pink and white grosgrain ribbon to string mine, a nice compliment to the pink on the eggs
6. To add some fun I took ribbon in turquoise, pink, yellow and lavender and tied it to the pink ribbon that I strung the eggs on. 
7. Hung the banner on my entry mirror, attaching the ribbon to the back of the mirror with painters tape (this is what I had lying around and it worked perfectly)! 

This was a fun and easy little project to create and it was pretty inexpensive...which I like too! Would love to see what you come up with if you try out this little tutorial. 


Happy Spring!!!

I am....

Blog surfing a few weeks ago, I found this great project from a wonderful blogger,Megan of the Brassy Apple. It is the "I am" project and allows you to submit inspiring photos that focus around a theme that is chosen each month. The month of February is LOVE and I happily submitted a photo of my two little ones embracing and guess what...today is the day that it is featured!!!


Take time out of you day and think about each monthly theme on the "I am" blog and find a photo that might work with the theme...such an amazing way to share a little part of your life!!! Special thank to Megan over at the Brassy Apple for this fabulous opportunity!!!

365 project....a now monthy project!!!

Well...I think life was trying to tell me something - "You have too much on your plate" !!! Well, I think I have to agree...just a little bit. The daily 365 project is now going to be a monthly project, sharing photos of what the life of a busy mom and wife is like with two kids under the age of three; working part-time as an interior designer and a wanna be entreprenuer and crafter...somewhat exhausting...BUT SO REWARDING!!! Here is a sneak at what our little family has been up too from mid-January to mid-February!I will share mid-February and March around the first part of April.


 No words can describe the happiness that I feel when I see this photo...

 I see a little friendship that I hope will last for a long time...

 Very suprised I do not weigh more than I do with all of the amazing bread my amazing husband makes on an almost daily basis!

 Play time in the kitchen...LOVE!!!

 The journey is everything...

 Playing in the dirt...

 One of the first times eating some real food! 

 Garden in progress...makes me SO hungry and excited!!! 

 Making Valentine's for school 

and cookies too!!!  

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day and hug and kiss the one's that you love!!!
