Birthday Bonanza

Spring is our birthday season... all 3 of our children have their birthdays in about a 1 month period. Our youngest Connor just turned three last weekend. He's so happy to be getting big! His birthday was dino themed and after the party was over he said to me "mama, me had a good birthday," which just melted my little heart! I love to throw them parties and they love it too! About 2 days before his birthday he came to me and said he wanted to wear big boy undies (a big relief on my part because up to that point he had refused to even attempt potty training)! Once he finally decided it has been so great... piece of cake! I just can't believe how fast my baby is growing up! I'm really trying to soak up every bit of my kids childhood... it just goes way to fast. I don't want to miss a thing!

Pick me, Pick me.... oh PLEASE pick ME!

The lovely Serena is giving one lucky Farm Chicks Show attendee a shot at an amazing VIP pass and some royal treatment! If you have never been, the Farm Chicks show is the MOST AMAZING antique/junk/flea/shabby chic market around. The first time my best pal Jami and I walked into the show we about died. It was our own personal version of paradise! We had the best time and loved being around all the other amazing women who were there. Honestly... Jami and I have had a very hard time finding other ladies in our neck of the woods who share our love of junk... so you can imagine the thrill we felt to see 1,000's of gals who didn't look at us like we had 3 eyes when we began to gush over some chippy piece of furniture or the most amazing rusty old baskets! Ahhhhh... the show was a little bit of heaven! So PLEASE Serena... pick me to be your special guest!!! Oh, but can I bring my best pal Jami too?...cause we're driving up together and I'll have to try to sneak her into the dinner in my granny cart if you say no... and that just wouldn't be very comfortable at all! ;) Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all have a very special day full of sunshine, love, and happiness as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus! Have a great day!!!!

Girls Trip!!!

(It's GREAT to have friends with the same priorities!)

I'm headed out today for a much needed girls weekend! A couple of friends and I are headed to a scrapbook convention. I'm so excited! Good friends, good coffee, scrapbooking, great deals, no remodel mess... whats not to love! Have a great weekend everyone!

Spring

I love Spring! I love the return of the birds, the smell of flowering trees, putting away the winter coats, gloves, etc... but it is such a short window here. Anyway this is something I started working on before all the remodel business. It's a new set of journaling cards using vintage bird images. I hope to get them finished soon and in my shop, but for now here's a little sneak peek....

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I have a few major paint projects to finish, then I'm on to some packing and sorting! It feels great to get this stuff done!

Up to my eyeballs...

in paint, Spackle, trim, flooring, and a bunch of remodel projects. It's the big push to finish all our updates to this house before we put it on the market. This place is a crazy mess right now, but it's going to be beautiful when were done! Anyway, I'll be in and out of the shop and here for a bit. There is just so much to get done! But I'll share a few photos later...

Don't forget about the March Special in my Shop. See previous post for details.. I have about 5 new sets I hope to get photographed and listed... but I'll have to see how the remodel is going. :)


Here's a quick photo I took of my little guy. I can't believe how fast this kid grows! I LOVE this sweater on him, Grandma got it for him for Christmas and it's almost too short in the sleeves already. I asked if I could take some pictures of him wearing in and he was thrilled. He's such a little ham! I used some of my new photoshop actions on it... so much fun! He is actually standing outside with a hill of snow behind him, but I loved how the actions blended it all together and gave it a vintage look! I love photoshop!!

Have a great Monday everyone!

Whoo Hooo!

I'm running a little Spring Special in my Etsy Shop this month. Buy 2 sets of journaling cards get 1 set of equal or lesser value free! I've got several new sets to get listed too, so I'll let you know when they are up for sale! So head on over to Pink Owl Paperie and check out my shop!
