just because....

While working at the store today I received a lovely surprise. My husband sent me flowers. No occasion....just because. In my opinion the 'just becauses' in life are far more important than any occasion. It was the perfect little pick me up after a not so great day yesterday. Thanks to Audrey for snapping these pics.

where did the weekend go???

I cannot believe it is Sunday night! This weekend flew by in a blur. It started out iffy (Holden vomitting Thursday night) and ended up great. The weather was amazing including that beautiful, complete rainbow we had Saturday night. We had so much fun doing several egg hunts with the boys. They really got into it this year, especially Holden who really 'got into' his chocolate eggs. He kept sneaking them. No wonder he's still awake in his bed right now. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and fingers crossed for many more sunny ones as Spring turns into Summer.

Yes, I do realize it appears that our new van is parked in our giant pine tree. I assure you, it's not!

I also realized how incredibly difficult it is to capture a full rainbow on film!

The boys really enjoyed themselves hunting for eggs but

weren't overly patient about waiting to find out what was inside

Hope you created some great memories this weekend and of course got some of them on film!

April Design team reveal

Phew it's been a busy couple of weeks!

This month each DT member got to play around with different groupings from My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary line. I was given some of the pieces from Little Boy Blue which I absolutely love.

For this card I used the sticker frame and cut strips of paper to put inside it. Added some mini alphas and a few buttons.

For 'Climb' I used inspiration from a Sketch by Becky Fleck. I finally used my Riff Raff tree that I have been hoarding for a loooong time.

A great way to show off all those great double sided papers is to use strips of scraps. I also used some of my favourite jillibean soup corrugated alphas here.

I tried a little something different and pleated the paper then used glue dots to add some ribbon. Owls seem to be everywhere this year and I LOVE them!

Make sure to take a moment and check out all the other fantastic designs over on the TSF gallery.
