Saturday Morning Pinning...

Happy Saturday Morning. I have been pinning while I drink my coffee. Looking out the window at the snow and rain, (frozen mix) waiting for the kids to wake up, and getting ready to roast a turkey. I think its going to be a good day. A staying in and crafting kind of day. 

I admit, I am having a bit of a blogging block, so here are some lovely pictures of Valentines stuff I found on Pinterest. 

Since we will be doing alot of crafting today, there will be lots of good posts starting tomorrow, I promise.

Have a great day!

Valentine Touches...

Loving the little touches of Valentines day. 

Hope your day is beautiful!

~Springy Matchboxes~

Check out my decorated matchboxes.

I can not take credit for the idea, my best friend introduced me to this fun idea.

A pack of matchboxes from the store, some scrap paper, some embelishments (I like puffy stickers and ribbon) and some adhesive (double stick tape is my favorite) and you have something cute and decorative instead of boring and ugly.

Some for Valentines day and some for Easter/Spring. (I admit, those are my favorite)

Hello, happy happy Tuesday!

It is a cloudy rainy day today. Yesterday was gorgeous... 62 degrees and sunny, but today is another story. 

Its all good, I have soup in the croc-pot, no where to go, until the kids get out of school, and lots of stuff to do. 

I have a choice, I can organize some stuff that I set aside back when we moved in... or craft...

ummm......

CRAFT!

The other stuff isn't going anywhere.

ha ha.

Have a great day!

Fun Beachy Craft....

Good Morning!

Happy happy Monday!

Yesterday my oldest daughter and I did a fun craft. It was super super easy. My girls have been wanting a beachy room. Surfboards (not) and fish (maybe) so my mom had a great idea to buy a calendar and poster board and make pictures for their room.

Brilliant!

So we cut and matted (not perfectly, but it was fun) and hung them up. I love it.

They think its pretty fun too. 

Next up, I have my eye on some fish fabric at Walmart. Time for some pillows. 

This next picture is a piece of scrap wood that my oldest painted up to match some of the signs at Pottery Barn Teen...

I am so proud of her. 

Have a wonderful day! 

Its going to be a sunny sunny warm day here.

Spring Plans....

Hello, happy happy Sunday!

I have been pinning wonderful inspiration from Pinterest on Chicken Coops. 

I have wanted a chicken coop for some time and since moving out to the country, it seems that this spring will be the time to make it happen. 

My mom had a great idea to have a chicken coop and put our rabbits out there as well, all enclosed in a large fenced covered cage. It will solve a few issues while bringing chickens into our little funny farm. 

My youngest daughter is very excited about the chickens, my oldest is the bunny girl, so between the two of them, they should be able to handle them. They are getting older and its time for them to have more responsibility. My husband is sure I will be the one doing it, but we will see.  For now we are in the hoping and dreaming stage, and at the moment we all want a pink chicken coop with a pretty banner and a handpainted sign hanging off of the cage. I can see it all now....

Have a wonderful Day!

Sweet Crochet Hearts...

My Hearts. I think they turned out wonderful!

Some other fun ideas!

Hello!  Happy Saturday. 

What a wonderful day. Supposed to be warm and sunny here so thoughts of spring are going through my mind. 

Before I go into that though, check out my crocheted hearts. Love them!

I found the idea on Pinterest and gave it a try.

I am going to try and make little heart pillows and hang them up for Valentines day. Some other thoughts are valentine garland and valentine heart key chains. Fun fun!

Hope your day is wonderful!

Beachy Decor....

Hello,

Happy Wednesday!

I have been checking out Pinterest lately for beachy decor ideas. 

My girls have been bugging me for days now about changing up their room. I blame their good friend who just redid her bedroom (you know who you are... ha ha  : )). 

I am very hesitant to do anything big since we just did their room in August of 2014. But a refresh sounds ok to me. So they decided on a beach theme. Since they already have turquoise all over their room, it seems like an obvious choice. Soooo.... On to pinterest, and ebay I go. 

My oldest daughter has already been trying to paint some signs and such, and I thought I would hang some grass skirts over the windows and find some beachy throw pillows and blankets. 

I have to admit, with this tricky spring like weather we have been having, I kinda like this project. 

Have a great day!

Paperwhites...

Finally, In full bloom. Lovely. 

More springy goodness.

Kids are back to school today.... ahhh. 

Life is back to normal.

Have a great day!

Fresh Flower Happiness....

I know they say you cant buy happiness, but I am pretty sure Flowers are happiness wrapped up in celophane. 

Love!

~Have a great day!~

Mysterious Fog...

Hello, Hope your Sunday is bright and sunny. I am happy to say, ours is going great. Just finished cleaning house, now time to sit and catch up on blogging. I havent been the best blogger lately. Probably because I am obsessed with Instagram. It is fun!

But anyways, i wanted to post these pics of the crazy thick fog that rolled in to our yard last night. It was great. It wasnt cold out and you could barely see 10 feet in front of you. The girls wanted to play in it and I let them, but I admit, the thoughts of creatures and zombies came into mind. What will come out of the fog????

Needless to say, they were fine. Ha Ha. 

Have a great rest of your weekend.

Latest Owl Displays....

Happy Friday!

Today should be a fun fun day.

My girls are home, no school, 4 day weekend and we are heading to the rec center to swim. I just wanted to share some of my latest owl goodies. 

I think I have shared the basket and cooking jars before, but the napkin holder is from my husband. Love it.

Oh, and no kitchen is complete without a little Cath Kidston thrown in. They are having an awesome sale by the way. Check it out...

Have an awesome day!

Ikea Kitchen Cart...

Happy Thursday.

I mentioned a few days ago that I did alot of spring cleaning this last weekend. We one of the things I did is move my rolling Ikea cart to the kitchen. I LOVE IT!

It was the best thing I have done. You cant tell now, but I use it for the girls lunch boxes and for my plants.  (for the moment). The plants will eventually move to other areas of the house. But for now. Love it. Definatly one of the best purchases I have made. And you can actually order this on their website if you dont live by one. 

: )

Have a great day!
