Easter

Bloggin about Easter. It was nice to get away for a couple of days. The weather at the cabin was beautiful. The kids climbed on rocks and we walked into town for ice cream. We even went to the movies and saw Horton Hears a Who, which was really cute. Back at home we colored eggs at Merrilee and Stan's and on Easter Sunday went to church and had a ham dinner. I made deviled eggs from the colored eggs. I love Easter because of the reminder of new beginnings and the hope that it brings for the future. Plus, the weather has been awesome, and we have a week off. What are you doing this week?

Like my new bracelet? It is so me and it's magnetic too. But the coolest part about it is, Preston gave it to me. After 12 years of marriage, he knows me and knows what I like. Yeah!


Just some thrift store finds I had to share. We went to Idylwild for a couple of days and I hit the thrift stores while we were there. Aren't these buttons cool? and this book too and of course vintage ribbon and lace is a must have.
Also, I wanted to share the St. Pat's day tags that I received in the swap. I also got some vintage wall paper from Karla. Thanks so much. Happy Spring. Back to share about Easter.

Sweet

You are so sweet! Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment, it keeps me blogging.

Spring

I've been sick with than nasty cold that is going around, and haven't felt very inspired lately, but I have found some cute things for the spring swap I am participating in, so I wanted to share. I've been on a nest kick lately, and can't wait to find some real nest with eggs in them. Usually we get doves in the back yard that will make a nest and lay some eggs. It's fun to keep an eye on the eggs and look for baby birds. So glad that it is spring. I stayed home from work yesterday to rest, and I sat out in the sun for a little while, it felt so good. The lamb of March is finally here, yet the windy lion is still trying to roar a bit.

Well, I need to take down the Valentine's decor, so I can put up this. Got inspired by all the cute spring things I am seeing on everyone's blog. This is an 8X10 canvas covered with papers and a copy of a vintage easter postcard and some ribbon and a few embellishments and of course those glitter letters, I love. Thanks for the inspiration. Time to decorate.

atcs

Just posting a scan from the other day. I got these back from a display at the store. These are some of my favorite atcs from 2007. Working on Spring things, will post soon. I need to get out the Easter decorations, sadly Valentine's Day is still up at my house.

my grandmother

oh, I got these scanned along with some of my atcs I'll share later. These are my grandparents. My grandmother's name was Michelene (after the angel Michael). I think she looks like an angel here. Thanks Mom for the pics, I'll have some copies made after I photoshop them a bit.
