Easter Fun!

 Easter 2011 almost didn't happen because Cassie was working on two 15 page papers for her graduate level classes, but we persevered.  So at midnight, we decided to take a break and color our Easter eggs. 

The next morning the Easter bunny did come even though I slept in.  Nice bunny!

I found some cute fabric at Walmart and made a tablecloth.  Our spring plates made Cassie quit obsessing about the color brown (our fall colors that had never been changed).  I must say it brightened up the kitchen a lot.  I am thankful to have had a mom that taught me how to sew when I was very young.

What Do You Do When It is Cold Outside? Scrapbook!

Here is an October Project inspired by Laura Denison that got put down for whatever reason.  So, I picked it up and had fun with it.  It tells the story of how Halloween became my daughter's favorite holiday.

Snow Days!

           I was finnally able to get out long enough to take pictures today. Here is the Fairy Garden.  The temperatures since Tuesday have been in the low teens.  Baby it was cold out there!  Today is just around the freezing mark.  We had light flurries earlier, but now there is just a blanket of white over a frozen mat of ice.

Wow a Snow Vacation

It has been three days of ice, snow, wind and rain. You name it and we've had it.  Throw in some thunder, too.  Schools have been closed.  We have even lost our water due to the drop in temp.  Feeding the animals is really a CHORE.  Everything is frozen and cold and about a foot deep in snow.

Exciting Times with Maria

Friends

I have found a whole new group of internet friends all over the world based on a blog started by Laura, the very creative mini album designer I found on youtube.  I started the mini albums because they are so easy to theme and finish. And I have most of the stuff I need to finish them.  I am using up my stash.   The longest one takes is about a week.  I have now made albums in the shape of a house, a coffin (a spooky Halloween one), and three themed around Maria.  She is going to be so much fun to scrapbook.  Look at this adorable face.  What's not to love.  Well, the cows are mooing, I'd better get to feeding them.
