Creating my own spring....

I just heard the weather forecast....Winter storm watch. 5-8 inches of snow expected. What to do....I can go back to bed and eat comfort food til I burst or I can create my own spring in my house by putting together a flowering bulb mantel....This picture is from Martha Stewart.com. She suggests pansies, crocus, Hyacinth. We will see, that left over Easter candy is calling me...

Porches...

Hi Blog Buddies! Has everyone recovered from the weekend? I was so flattered to be featured on Rachel's blog....A Romantic Porch. Check it out! Rachel features some one's porch on her blog every few week's...I really can't wait until I can sit and watch the sun come up on a warm spring day! Have a good Tuesday!!!

Monday already?

Weekends fly by when you are busy...My sisters and I gave my niece to be a bridal shower on Sat. and I was asked to do the centerpieces...I painted some gift bags with polka dots and monogrammed their last initial on it in sage and brown(their wedding colors) ...very quick and simple. Addi was there with one pink shoe on most of the time and her sissy Karissa looked so sweet in her matching dress! Easter Sunday was spent at my sister's for brunch. A very nice day! I hope everyone enjoyed the day..

Easter

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter! We will be spending the day at my sister Katie's house with all of our family...I can't wait! Easter is one of my favorite holidays. Enjoy the weekend everyone!(this picture was taken at my house,two years ago)

Nesting

Here is another nook in my office that I just added...I covered these letters with scrapbook paper in blues and browns...I think they turned out ok. It brightened my office up a little. I can't believe it is Easter on Sunday! it sure doesn't feel like it around here...snow in the forecast and temps in the thirties! We will have to hide those eggs in the snow banks...Have a good Wed. everybuddie!

If only....

all of us could find this much JOY! in doing the dishes...

What a difference .....

Wow. What a difference a year makes..Sweet Addi has changed so much! We love her so...
