Family reunion

33rd annual Richardville Reunion. This car was in the neighbor's yard. The perfect color of aqua.
Friendly competition of volleyball going on.
My sweet great aunt Mickey (the eldest at the reunion at 92) She is a gem. Talking with my sis.

Trampoline fun,

Cheesy smiles,

and my great nephew Caleb charming everyone.

My beautiful daughter, Ashley getting shade under the tree.

Out to Lunch

It has been a busy, busy summer. Hope to be back this fall.

Bark Bark, It's the Easter Puppy

Hello,

Mr. Kane here and I am so embarrassed. This may ruin my reputation in the bully breed world.
A dog must do what a dog must do.

Spring is Nature's way of saying Let's Party! Robin Williams. I scored this free printable here. Seems like forever since sunshine and warm weather. It is finally creeping in Northwest Indiana.

Some of the peeps I've been working on for spring and Easter. I'm loving their lemon twist legs and their new hair accessories. They chose these instead of Easter bonnets. Don't want to mess up their fluffy feather heads.




The tiny purple peepette is fast becoming my bff!!! She's the sweetest! She is around 2 inches tall and just starting to learn to fly~~ In fact she hasn't even grown her wings yet. So her flying consists of hopping around...teehee.

My husband called these "Hello Bunnies". It reminds him of Hello Kitty. Just added pipe cleaners and stuck in a vase filled with rock salt. I may exchange the salt for pretty Easter grass as soon as I dig out my Easter decos. This picture was taken with my cell phone, hence the poor, poor quality.

So, so glad Spring is finally here!!

Happy Spring,

Julie

Sea of Green Peeps

Peep...Peep...Peep times 18.


12 of these Frosty Green Peeps will be so lucky to find a home at Elizabeth's place.

If you have not visited her blog...stop now and GO.......

They are not cramped. They are comfy, cozy all snuggled together in their fluffiness.

One of my favorite views of the peeps.

Each one the same...but different. Their cute little faces always have their own personality.

3 Shamrock Green Peeps and 2 Frosty Green Peeps are in my shop.

They are as fun as a "Barrel of Monkeys" I never could play that game very well.

Hoping Spring is near!

Valentine Candy Box Album Kit from E

A sweet Pink Valentine Candy Box Scrapbook Album From Elizabeth from Bluebird Papercrafts.


Elizabeth is the Queen of Paper crafts and making her own patterns. She orders my pom pom birds by the dozen. She makes her own pom pom critters that are super cute and they are usually adorned with felt clothes.


It looks just like a Valentine candy box.



Elizabeth even included all the coordinating papers that fit the theme perfectly!





Hooked it on the handle of my china hutch for now. I have to decide what pictures to fill it with.

Happy Valentine's Day

Just in time for Valentines

With not a minute to spare. The little pink lighted tree is loaded with Valentine goodies.
It may even be overloaded...but can you have too many pretties and sweets?
My heart from E...very special to my heart.

One of my pink lovebirds. Can you see the pipe cleaner garland?



One of my small cupcake cottage ornaments...sugary sweet for sure~

A variegated pom pom with rick rack hanger.


I love those milky white glass bulbs. Also added some vintage ribbon still on wooden spools.


I spy a red glitter lollipop in the background :)


Wooden Cherries hiding in the back.

Lots of goodies right there ^


Purchased those glittery puffy hearts from Dollar Tree...8 in a pack. They will appear again on this post.

And there are more glittery puffy hearts. Used some sea salt I had hanging around in the pantry for years to a pretty glass vase. A pretty pink polka dot ribbon ties it up. The Vintage Valentine cupid clown is from Mary. You have to see her collections.



2 more pink trees that I boxed back up..need more Valentine goodies to fill them up~


Some red ceramic cardinals to top off the shelf <3


Happy Valentine's Day Weekend,

Julie

Pastel Doily Garland

Sassy Sanctuary is where I saw this Pastel Doily Valentine Garland...Easy Peasy. I had all the materials so I whipped one up in under an hour!!

All this prettiness while I was watching the Super Bowl...I can multitask! I added beads in between my hearts on this one:

This is my garland. Taking one to work to decorate my office window and the other one is going to a friend.

The Blizzard of 2011 is now behind us. I have been off work for a entire week. Two days for sick days and the other 3 for Blizzard days.


The drift in front of the house is about 3.5 feet tall. I'm not sure when we will see our front sidewalk again...our snow blower broke doing the driveway.

Have a great and warm week,
(~~)
