I love decorating my home for all the holidays!
It's always fun to think of new ways to decorate the table.

Pictures of Easter Sunday at our home. It was great having Greg home for a couple of days. The kids went to the Cardinals' game Saturday and Steph made it on National TV!

I finished my Easter Cards and I put them in the mail. Yeah! I really had fun making these. I rediscovered Micro Clear Glass Beads. It made the egg look like the old fashion sugar eggs my grandma made me every year. I also used Watercolor Pallette to paint the images. I love the richness of the colors. Simple project but I loved how they came out.

Got a project done yesterday that I have wanted to do since I came back from Peoria. I organized Wendy Vecchi stamps in the acrylic binder. I decorated with Graphic 45, Botanical, and used the flowers I made in class. I used Tim Hotlz corners for the corners of the acrylic binder. Love them! I embellished mine with crystals I had left over from the rhinestones I used to decorate my daughter's dance costumes. It really added a little sparkle to the binder.

I also got my "Manly Man" cards done for May. They are now at the store awaiting approval. I'll post them when I get the go ahead.

I am very tired of cold weather!!!! The positive side to it is that I'm using my Spring Break to finish stuff!

Went to Collinsville today and had a blast! I bought the coolest travel case for my Cricut Expression. I bought some stuff I'd never seen before. I think I'm going to play with my new stuff all weekend in my studio. I'm on Spring Break next week and I thought I was going to plant my flowers, but the weather is not going to cooperate. SOOOOO I think I will play. Maybe do some catch-up. I bought a t-shirt that says "Queen of Unfinished Projects." Maybe I'll be able to finish a few!

Got great news today: Our daughter, Stephanie, finished all of her interviews and was offered teaching positions at two schools. She decided to accept the third grade position at the school she has been subbing at all this year. She is very excited. We are so happy for her and very proud. We all try to raise our children to be independent adults. It is wonderful to see your child doing just that.

Have a great weekend. Happy Creating!
