Potting Bench Makeover

Filed Under: Makeovers, Outdoors

I am SO sick of rain!!!  (It's raining right now.)  I know I shouldn't complain, when some of you are doing rain dances, but the gloom of rainy days is taking a toll on me.  We have gone straight from winter into weeks and weeks of rain...arrrgh! So this weekend we had a few hours of sunshine!!!  It allowed us enough time to cut our jungle grass and play around outside. Some of you who have been with me from the beginning might remember this beauty. I got this work bench at GW for ... Read More about Potting Bench Makeover

Filed Under: Office

Our office can be seen from most rooms in our downstairs.  It is technically my husband's, but has become a dumping ground for everyone.  The task of organizing and cleaning the shelves has seemed overwhelming, so it has just been neglected.   But as you know, dust does not take a break.  The room needed to scrubbed and the easiest way to do that was clear the shelves. This is one set of shelves this morning. And here it is this afternoon. It literally took me all day, but it feels ... Read More about Spring Cleaning in the Office

THE Easter Party

Filed Under: Kids Party Ideas

The Easter Party was a success, despite the non-cooperating weather!  Rain was in the forecast for the entire day, so to play it safe we moved the party inside.  We just had to make a slight change to the plan and a few quick decorations. The girls were so excited and decided to dress-up for the occasion. Wow, pictures bring out all the imperfections on the walls!  That smear is from the magic eraser...not so magic! Don't underestimate the power of tissue paper and streamers!  These ... Read More about THE Easter Party

Easter Party for under $30: Part 2 and Link Party

Filed Under: Craft, Kids Party Ideas, Springtime Decor

Today I wanted to show you a cheap and easy favor for your Spring/Easter party.  I got most of the supplies at the dollar store or they were things I already had. Here's what you will need: clear treat bags, twine, candy that looks like eggs, and shredded gift paper. Just fill the bottom of bag with the shredded paper, making a little "nest."  Fill with candy and tie with twine. You can add some birds (found at the dollar store) to add to the nest feel. To get a free copy of the Spring ... Read More about Easter Party for under $30: Part 2 and Link Party
