Spring has sprung!

Today is such a beautiful day. The birds are chirping outside, so I felt a bit inspired to show off just a few of my completed spring projects around the house. 

Only the roses are blooming outside, so I opted for a few artificial flowers for the kitchen island.....


Special thanks to Becca at http://adventuresindecorating1.blogspot.com/ for her tip to use chalk in markers on all my blackboards. Great colors, too, although I used only white for now. And I put my handy little Cricut machine to work on "baking" words for my mixer.......


Last but not least, an adorable project I found somewhere in my "travels" through the internet and magazines. So cute, and so easy!


Now I need to tackle the big project - finishing the painting. I just love the new color! Behr Peanut Butter.


Have a fantastic day!

Feeling Inspired!

Spent the day dreaming of getting my projects done, and ran across some beautiful photos to inspire me.


I just love the mossy greens against the crisp white!


What a darling idea. Reminds me of those ads you see for Edible Arrangements. Plus the dark red of the strawberry looks fantastic with the bright green!











What a gorgeous spring table! Absolutely LOVE the lanterns!


 And who can resist a little Easter fun? ..................................
      
                                            Might have to try this project with the kids!
                                         
                          You know I'm making a sign like this soon! Completely adorable!


And last but not least, can I say I just WISH I worked at a desk like this! 
Just love this idea.





Have a fantastic day. God bless!

MIA

Yes, that's me....I've been MIA for several weeks, while I concentrated on "sprucing" up our home. I have so many things to share, it'll take me a while to get organized and post everything. Needless to say, we've had our share of messes to clean up, but everything is looking really, really great. So proud of all my helpers, too! Everyone has really hung in there, putting up with the constant "shifting" of items in the house. One moment it's there, the next it's not! It's like playing hide and seek with all the necessary items in our house. We've made several trips to the donation centers, and had bulk trash pick up, but we're cleaning out the stockpiles of unused goods, and moving forward. 

Looking forward to sharing pics with you soon!
