Hey Hey!! I just found out about this really cool idea hub called, Pinterest from these folks over here.

I already signed up for an invite. I know, very "Excuse me, are you on the list?" attitude, but I am pretty sure you won't get shot down if you put yourself out there. Anyway....check it out. Look at all the fun, different, inspiring ideas!! I can't wait to get pinning and get my crafty on! ;o)


Until next time...

1st giveway ever!!!

Hi...it's April...March is gone....and where was I? Everything has been flying by: time, birthdays, gatherings, projects...and I have totally let you down by not sharing. March was a slow, slow month for me in terms of postings...lame. So, guess what?! I am partnering with one of my favorites to kick things off in April and get this party started!

I was totally honored when Abby, over at Abby Neese Photography, ask me if I wanted to participate in a giveaway! Of course I said Yes! Head over to check out her work...you'll see why I was so excited!

After thinking about what I could contribute and going back and forth on a few ideas we thought a Spring inspired tutu would be great! I scooped up some soft colors - white, blue, pink, yellow -  and got to work! It was my first ever and I can't wait to make more! For a chance to snag this one head on over to Abby's blog to enter!

{fluffy, girly, all sorts of cute}

On the verge...

Spring, warmth, sunny days, green grass, flowers, longer days...it's all on the verge of showing it's lovely face around these parts. And there's my proof....

I apologize for being MIA the past couple weeks, but that's just it...I've been "in action". Lots of progress on the buffet, family visits, birthdays, on-going Spring cleaning, new workout routine... Hope the subtle changes in the weather and days have been inspiring to you as well. More to come!

Until next time...

Well, would you look at that...

It actually snowed this time. I'd like to send a big high five out to all the weather people who got it right this time. *High five* Just playing, seriously, I know the best you can do with predicting the weather is give an educated guess....so whatevs. But it is a little discouraging when you think a wave of snow is coming your way, time after time after time, and it doesn't show. So, I convinced myself that if I didn't think about the snow, didn't watch the weather, and acted like it was all just a bad joke maybe, just maybe it would come. And it did, woohoo!!! I good bit too! Here's to the first real snow of the winter.

My favorite tree in the yard...and Riley with her face in the snow, usual.

Again, with her face in the snow. She has this thing about sniffing until she hits ground...yea, I love her.

My attempt at a snowman...kinda creepy, but a snowman just the same.

Bubbly bushes

Hope everyone enjoyed the fluffy white stuff as much as I did! p.s.- Tomorrow's Friday... :-D

Until next time...
