I just want to give this little guy a squeeze! I have been getting all ready for my girls dance competitions...they have the next few weeks of dancing!! Yikes I am going to be tired!! Oh ya I guess they will be too!! Off to get organized!! Thanks for looking!

in cages

I am glad these little birdies are not cooped up in a cage.....I have no idea what this paper is called... Kathy bought it... but I want it. I really, really want it and I would keep it in my stash forever!! I have to say I am really glad the wind around here has died down and everything has stopped flying around my yard. I got out in the garden yesterday..I got some crocus for my Easter arrangements and I popped them into the garden ...I am hopping I will see some next year..It is one of those things I never think about till it is too late! Not this time...I am way ahead of the game!! Thanks for looking!

is it to early?

I had to do it...yes I did...I had to post this card and yes we are already making Mothers Day cards...scary right?? I had to post it because I love that Kathy daubbed the flowers ...It gives them so much texture. I will be showing a whole lot more Mothers Day soon but I will hold off for a bit longer.... you're welcome! We got our Sugar Plum set in so I think I will get to work on them as well! Thanks for looking!

a flock of chicks?

passing on a cool giveaway...

I thought he looked like he was giving this bunch of flowers away so very appropriate for this post!! Thanks to Michelle! P.S. we are still waiting for our Sugar Plum Set! I want it now!!! have a great day....no rain yet!!

so soft...

These are totally my colors...I just love the earth tones... My girls used to ask me about my fave colors and I would say brown... that wasn't even a "color" to them...they would say I have to pick a real color! For some reason the colors in this card make me feel warm and cozy. Thanks for stopping by have a great day!

big bold and...

beautiful right?? This flower rocks my world...Now so we are clear...Michelle did take this stamp from Kathy and I don't want to be the one to bring it up but....I just wonder if she gave it back??? I think no... HHHMMMM?? Enough said!! There is nothing like stirring the pot!! ...Sigh...My job is done for today! Thanks for looking and have a great day!

three peas in a pod

Well three pods I guess...boy, girl and unknown!!! I have no idea where this stamp came from but I am glad Michelle brought it back to the mix! I am so happy that we had a beautiful day yesterday for the easter hunt and dinner was supper yummy! The best part is my house is still sparkling clean!! My girls are off school for the month and we have the next week before their dance competitions start so we are on relax and hang out mode! Michelle has a sick little boy who I guess has been holding on to this virus for over a month now...he just can't shake it! Poor little guy is on round 2 of some super medicine...Hope it works quick I know Michelle needs it to be over!! Kathy just got back from California early last week and some time soon we have to clean up her craft closet...we have put it off for a few weeks now!!! I don't think she will let us get away with it for much longer!!! Now you are all up to date!! Thanks for looking!

kinda springy

So... I have a couple of things to share first the beautiful baskets I made!!! I used outdoor perennials because I don't do so well with real plants in my house...so outside they will go! I also put chives in the egg shells but sadly they have not made it... I wanted to show you the cute easter Bunny tags that I made for our hunt...I just punched out the oval and Kathy have a wack of small embossing folders ..I just daubed them with springy colors and Voila!

so bridal??

OOHHH It is sunny and fresh out It would be a perfect Spring day to get Married! Ok I am inspired maybe a bit by this card.. Michelle's pick from the Spring pack of Sugar Plums we got!! Isn't she sweet??? We are off to hunt for bunnies..well for the goodies a certain bunnie has left for us!! Heres to hopping he didn't forget about me!!

isn't this the cutest??

My youngest has a best girlfriend and she made this totally adorable quilt in a class at school!! We bumped into the mom and daughter team at the fabric store and saw the before fabric and I was floored by the finished project!! Way to go Sarah!! Watch out.... I will start getting you to help me finish all my projects!!!

wishing big....

I am wishing that I had this gorgeous paper! Michelle has broken out all her super papers...I am talking Chatterbox circa 1999...I am not kidding! I really think that is how old some of her papers are! Yipes!! I want to raid her craft room...It looks like the weather may be turning around! Keep your fingers crossed for sunshine!! Thanks for looking!
