Every year in school around Earth Day (Saturday, April 22nd this year), my boys come home asking how they can do their part to help save the earth. This year, I sent away for the seed packets Cheerio's was giving away in an effort to "bring back the bees." Since, we plant wild flowers every spring, I didn't pay too much mind to the newspaper articles criticizing the seed packets. On Saturday - weather-permitting - we'll...
The weather is finally beautiful here. The boys are off from school for spring break, and I'm starting to prep for Easter company. I found this petite basket at the thrift store last week and turned it into a little nest to add to my Easter table. Now back to planning my menu... Jeanine ...
April showers are in full swing today in New York, but that didn't stop me from putting together this sweet spring vignette for our porch. Don't you just love that bunny from Home Goods?!

Some might argue this is typical behavior for a 9...

I have them displayed on...
I'm sooooo ready for spring. I don't know about you, but I feel like winter has zapped my motivation. Most days I sit down to craft and I got nothing. The most I've been able to eek out are these sweet religious frames. I used two petite frames and these beautiful religious images. Both are available in my Etsy.
