Easter Party for under $30: Part 1

Filed Under: Craft, Springtime Decor

As I mentioned, I am having an Easter party for my girls and a few of their friends.   The guest list is only 12 kids under the age of 6, so it will be pretty small.  I decided that I didn't want to go crazy with spending and wanted everything to be super simple, so I have set my budget for $30.  Everything I bought is either from the grocery store or craft store.  Two stops,$30, and about an hour set up time...and you have yourself a LAST minute Easter party. Today I will show you the ... Read More about Easter Party for under $30: Part 1

To complete the mood, I updated my mantel.  I really liked the mirrors I used for Christmas, so they stayed.  It's very simple, but the large glass jar adds some drama. We got this large jar from my husband's grandfather and it is one of my favorite pieces.  It is so versatile and can be changed to match the season. I hope everyone is enjoying warmer weather and all the plants in ... Read More about Spring Mantel

yard sale success

Filed Under: yard sale

IT'S OVER!!  The yard sale, that is! Boy was it a lot of work, but very productive. We had people show up half an hour early (thank goodness, they stayed in their cars for a while)!  We had so much stuff that we had a hard time getting it all out in time.  There were 8 families that contributed and it was all at my house.  I didn't have time to take pictures, but you can imagine how much junk great stuff we had!  So, right at 7:30 am the mob (literally) showed up.  It was ...

Please excuse my absence

Filed Under: No Category

If you thought I had fallen off the face of the earth, you are not entirely wrong!  These past few weeks, my life and body have been a little out of sorts.  My parents got here two and a half weeks ago, and I got sick the day after they arrived.  The day after they left, we pulled out before the sun came up to head to my in-laws.  With all the company and travel, I have been battling a cold (completely lost my voice), a stomach bug, and now KILLER allergies.  URRRRR So, my apologies for ...
