New Computer

Hubs got me a new computer and I'm still learning all the fine details. Bear with me! I have cute Easter cookies coming and plan on doing some Easter decor stalking in the next couple of days!

Stay tuned....

A little bit of Easter

in a BIG way.




It is all quotes from different people during the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus. All the quotes from Jesus are in red. It's really hard to read in the pictures, but under the crosses, in the brown, it says, "Surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Cookie Decorating Party

Kiss me, I'm Irish!

Love to decorate sugar cookies or just want to know how? Come over!

When: Saturday, March 6th
Time: 10am-1pm
Where: My house
What: St. Patrick's Day Cookies (shamrocks...oh yes)
Cost: $15 (to cover the cost of cookies and icing)

Who's invited? YOU ARE (you know...if you live in the same area)

You'll leave with a dozen, four inch cookies YOU decorated and the knowledge of how to do it yourself again!

If you would like more cookies, please let me know in advance. Each additional dozen is $10. If you would like a dozen small shamrocks, they are $6/dozen.

Here is a sample of what you can create:

Valentine's Day Cookies

I think cookies are appropriate for every occassion, don't you?

Especially when they are this cute!

I told you so...

ONE more Valentine's Day project...I promise!

I saw these somewhere in blogland (sorry, can't remember where!) and loved the idea. I want to give my kids cards and candy and then have them write one thing down that they love about each other and stick it in each other's bag.

SO....here are the bags they'll be putting them in!


I thought I wouldn't make Valentine's Day a big deal for my kids. So much for that, huh?

The Names of God

Here is my latest project:



Yup. I loves it. It's hard to read the red writing in the picture, but they say "Redeemer", "Savior", and "Everlasting."

It's going on that empty wall by my dining room table. I think I just got warm-fuzzies from the thought of covering that wall because it has been the bane of my existence trying to figure out what I'm going to do with that wall. Alright, not really, but I'm still glad to cover it up.

But really? The Daniel Bible Study has the title of "My Bane."

Seriously. Oh Lord, help me.

The Last Valentine's Day Project

Maybe. We'll see. All right? Yeah, probably not.

All I did was stalk a blog...find this lady...I said, "Hey, that's a great idea!" and then I said the words that my husband has a love/hate relationship with "I can do that!"

Oh boy.

While I was trying to remember if I had ANY frames left in my "stash" in the garage that my husband calls 'junk' in an effort to throw it out and that I call 'craft supplies for future use' (just how far away that future is...who knows?) I remembered that I had bought some 16x20 canvases on sale at Joann's. Score.

Paint, stencil, paint, dry, done. Love.


Well, whether it's my first, which it's not, or my last, which remains to be seen, it did inspire me for the big dining room project I've been putting off.

PROJECT!!!

My husband is over-joyed.
