Spring is here!

Yes, Spring is here and I LOVE it! Flowers are growing, grass is lush and green and our family has been enjoying nightly walks after dinner, baseball in the yard and riding bikes up and down our street. Something so comforting about nature in bloom...I am a true hippie/flower child at heart. Earth Day is a big day for me and when I lived in Pennsylvania there was a big celebration by the river that I attended every year up until I moved to Michigan. I miss it so much. One year I will take me kids back to that celebration, there is so much to learn and do that teaches them to care for our Earth and how to give back.

Well, I haven't any new crafts at this time because now I am starting to get ready for the 2nd annual Mom2Mom sale. I have tons of Vanessa's clothes to sell along with toys and shoes..should be a fantastic turnout, we have I believe 30 or more vendors so all of my mommy friends, come to our sale it is May 15th at the Cornerstone Baptist Church. I am starting to fill the living room with sale items...hehehe. I warned Brian that it's going to start looking crazy with stuff everywhere...thank goodness, I cleaned the house real good first and I am organizing all of it in containers so it shouldn't be too bad.

I did do a graphic design project for MOPS, it is a booklet on Farms, Farmers Markets and U-picks...I will scan a picture of it as soon as I finish printing the covers. It turned out nice and I made it purse size so moms can carry it with them. Well, time to go and play with Vanessa, she has been cleaning her room while I posted a new blog. Hopefully, she actually cleaned and didn't just play!...hehehe...Gotta love my 3 year old! Have a happy day!

I have been crafting again!

It has been awhile since I have been on my blog. Our family has been healing from an awful tragedy. Brian's father passed away and it was sudden and not expected...There is still so much pain but with each passing day, we strive to heal a little bit more. RIP Bob Madl, March 27, 2010. We love you and hope you are out of pain and at peace.

On a much lighter note, I have been trying to keep busy and get back into the swing of things. I am posting a picture of my homemade peanut butter eggs I made for Easter...I forgot to take one when I had dozens in front of me so these are the last two eggs. I gave 99% of them away so this is all that is left in our house and I still haven't touched them. I'm down 9 pounds and so I am watching what I am eating right now but that doesn't mean I won't soon split one of these 4 ways with the family...hehehee! Sorry the picture is a little blurry, I need a new camera desperately!

The next project I did was a couple of Monogrammed letters. These are so easy and alot of fun. I learned how at MOPS and now I plan to make some gifts for others. Here is one for Hayden and Vanessa. My pics are crooked but oh well, you can see the ideas. I plan on painting Vanessa's frame white to match her room better.

Now, I have two more projects I am working on and when I get finished I will post them. Have a great day!
