Fresh buds are starting to appear everywhere

 Circus is loving the weather as much as we are

 Lots of rain

Crafty Apple

All I did was slather on some Mod-Podge and few strips of scrapbook paper and voila; a crafty green apple.

Now I just have to decide where to put it...

Delicious Breakfast made by Luke

Doesn't this spread look delicious?  I'm so glad that the clouds have finally broken up and I have some natural light to play with again.

Crafty Idea - Weekly Menu Board

 Oh Martha, how I love your new office supplies at Staples!  I spent a few dollars on some chalk board labels and finally brought one of my ideas to life.  The 'week at a glance' Menu chalk board.  I purposely designed it vertically so that it would fit in a specific section of our kitchen wall. That is one of the reasons I love making things from scratch: you can always make them in a way that suits your needs and tastes.

I've Been Bitten by the Crafting Bug (Again)

 I've accumulated quite a collection of crafty projects lately and decided it was time to organize and sort through them all.  In the process, I was inspired to start working on a number of ideas that I have had lurking in the back of my mind. Nothing is more motivating (except pinterest :) than having a clean and organized work area with a backlog of crafty projects! 

Stay tuned to see what I've been working on.....
