My mom works @ an assisted living center with women residents. THis is the 2nd year they have had me make their invites for their mother's day celebration. I can't believe how fast these whipped up...15 cards...5 of 3 designs (from the WOTG in new idea book!). I just switched up the papers! The new Pizzazz Irresistibles are COOL! You ink them up @ they have pre printed resist images on them. Very fun!
This is the 2nd year. Last year Brian & I built these raised garden beds. I had them out back...but they didnt' work. Combo of not enough care (too far frm hose), not enough sun, and TWO ROUDY PUPPIES! They never took. This year I moved them. Right up by the side of the house (Brian has to be annoyed!)...you see them as soon as you go out kitchen or come in gate..which is where 99% of our guests arrive! Anyways...the littles & I planted box one w/ early seeds. THe other two are waiting till May 1st to be planted!
Look...
Hope this keeps Major out...right!
we marked our plantings.
Each kid planted their own seeds.We did spinach, cauliflower, peppers, peas, radish's. I cut some branches of my crab apple to stick in the dirt for a 'trellis' that my peas can grown on.
First we dug in the recycle bin for some activia (yeah, i feed the littles this stuff! ) and yay...we had FIVE exactly!
Cleaned, rinsed & dried.
Then we decorated with all of my left over scrappin scraps!
See how cute?! We filled them with some hyacinths before they headed home!
i really liked the white space on this one..never use it so nice to be simple.
a little crazy here...
this was my fav creation today!
and love the distress stickles!Go figure..i whine about lack of time & find time two days in a row! Here ya go:
this one is just a mish mash of scraps..see the turquoise ribbon w/ the yellow scallop...LOVE IT!
and i saw this stamp set @ target..and fell IN LOVE!it just seems like i don't get to do it as much as i wanted..grr...but here are two quickies!
we wanted to be festive for st patty's day...so we made rainbow cupcakes...each kid got a color and put it in the cup...they didnt' get totally rainbow ish...more tie dyed looking...but good enough to EAT!
and some EGGS are always festive
I thought this bird cage was CUTE..and found a mini wreath of glass beads...tucked in a ceramic bird...voila
funny little grassy goose.
sitting on a chair!!
i was planning on seeding some grass in the mini pots...for eggs to hide in..but that didn't happen LOL!
