Easter Fun


My parents were able to come up for some Easter fun.







My mom had the week off for spring break. We had a great time. While they were here, we were able to see the Carl Bloch exhibit. It was very neat. We had a great Easter together. We worked, shopped, played and visited. And of course, no family get together is complete without homemade ice cream... even if it was raining outside.

Spring Break Adventures

I am a bit late on this post, but that is ok.

I was busy the whole week of spring break. First, I helped my older sister make some wedding favors for her sister in law. It was pretty simple, and very elegant looking. Inside the boxes were oreo and peanut butter truffles. I love these! However, making 80 was a bit more labor intensive than any of us expected.


We did a lot of shopping. J was such a trooper!


He loves P to read books to him.

Then we left for a weekend of fun in Moab.

Spring Decor

Even though it is snowing outside right now, I still have hopes that spring is coming. I changed out my window drapes, which I do frequently. The purple flowers have sprung. The banner is a bit easterish, but that's ok. Easter is late this year. I actually love how the wreath turned out. The flowers were super simple to make. Loving it!



And the best news.... I am on spring break for a week. I have some little plans of things to do and clean... (Is it still called spring cleaning when it is snowing outside?) Anyway, a week off will be fantastic!

Animal Sounds Book

I decided to make a little animal sounds book, using my cricut. My nephew is learning animal sounds, so I can't wait for him to see it. These are just a few of the pages. I bound them together, but need to get a bigger binding. The pages don't flip very easily. I really like how it turned out.
