Chocolate Bunnies...

Happy March 18th!

St. Patricks day is over, and while I want to throw myself into total Easter awesomeness, I have a preteen birthday next week. We are going to just go low key this year, but I will decorate for her like usual. I cant believe she will be 11. Time has flown by so fast. 

On another note, last weekend I took some time to do a craft I saw online. 

I painted vintage bunny figurines to look like Chocolate. Much healthier, less calories...

I bought inexpensive figurines like these off of Ebay, (afterwards, I saw cheap ones at Walmart... oh well), and then for about 4 dollars, I bought this Krylon Chocolate brown spray paint. It took a few coats....

But I think they turned out great.  Now for some jelly beans or hard boiled eggs. 

Have a great day!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Ahhhh, Kids all green, nails green, green decor, and corned beef and cabbage cooking. 

Love St. Patricks Day!

May your troubles be less

and your blessings be more

and nothing but happiness

come through your door.

Greengate on the Porch...

Hello, happy happy Thursday!

It looks like rain here today. Cloudy and gloomy. But thats ok. Getting the crocpot out and making some coffee. 

I started looking on Pinterest for some cozy porch ideas, and I think I need some Greengate on my porch. Wish it was easy to get, but I am sure I can find Greengate inspired items. 

I also found some pics of great Greengate items that I wish I could get my hands on.

Love love love the grey dot....

and the fun Ice Cream cups....

And I am definately planting Hydrangeas this year...

I wish I had this pot for some soup today!

Have a wonderful day!

Change of plans...

Its funny how you can have a plan and your sure its the right plan and then something happens, or nothing happens, and your whole idea of perfect changes. I was ready to close in the porch. And then, I walked out there one day, and the sun was shining, it was warm, the girls were out playing and there was a slight breeze and I thought, "why do I want to close this up?"

So I decided not to.

Simple. 

I have to say my husband was relieved. 

Ha Ha.

I do plan on adding curtains, and a rug and fun chairs with cushions, maybe a chalkboard sign and wreath...

But thats it. 

There are far too many other projects that I would rather tackle.

and....

...I really cant wait until I can live in flip flops. Love summer time.

...and of course, for the night time. My girls are happiest when they can play outside in the dark....

So lights are a must!

Hope your day is bright and sunny!

Wooden Trays...

Hello! Happy Tuesday!

Whew! We had a busy weekend. So busy that I could not wrap my head around blogging. I did get to go to a few garage sales on Saturday!

I love this time of year!

I found these awesome nesting wood trays. I am thinking of making something like this....

LOVE!!

But for now, they will be used individually. So much possibility.

Have a great Sunny day!

American Girl Storage

Hello, and Happy Tuesday!

I am a little late blogging today. I just finished cleaning up and removing my old refrigerator. Still in great shape, but had to go, I decided I just couldnt live without an ice maker for much longer. And I found a great deal on a clearance one at Sears, so thats done. 

Now onto other spring cleaning. Something that I did yesterday, was work on my youngest daughters American girls stuff. Whew! Every time I clean up her doll stuff, I vow to never buy any more, and then I do. I am not sure why I keep contributing to the insanity. Ha ha. 

But I admit, it was fun organizing it all. 

The night before she had set up this fun little store, so I just added a few things. Call it playing if you like, I am ok with that. 

During my search for ideas to organize, I also found these wonderful over the top ideas I wish I could make happen. For now, I will just enjoy. 

Have a great day.

Reusing Candle Jars...

~Happy March 2nd~

After the long snowy weekend we had, and all the candles I burned, I started looking for ideas on how to reuse the jars. Pinterest had lots of great ideas. I love my jar candles. All brands, and believe it or not, the Walmart ones smell the best. 

Here are some great ideas on how to reuse those jars. 

Have a wonderful day!

Cork Board Banner....

Hello, Happy Sunday March 1st.

Did everyone get snow? 

We did, and alot of it. 

Its all good. Keep on coming. We need green grass and water for swimming pools this Summer. 

Today, I am posting about my fun little banners I did yesterday.

My cork boards inside my computer cabinet needs some pretty inspiration.

They just make me smile. 

I love the banner punch from Stampin up. It is probably my favorite tool ever. 

Have a fabulous day!
