Happy Spring!!

I know I am a little late posting these but hey better late than never right. I didn't get much done in the way of Easter crafts but here are a few that I did get done.

 My table in my living room. Don't look at the dust LOL!

The big subway art tile was done by my friend over at Grunged, Glittered, n' Branded

 My daughter wanted to make something so this was her first try at a flower arrangement. Not bad!

 My husband made me these pedestals and I needed something to put on them so back when I did my stylish blogger award I came across a blog where these adorable eggs where posted and I fell in love with them. Had to make some of my own. Check out Sweet Little Smoothie to see the original. I added green leafs and bows to mine. She even has a tutorial so you can make your own too.

7 Things about me :)

 

1) I am a good friend. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I have been burned because of this, but I don't think it is fair to not like someone who has never done anything to me personally.  This is sometimes a fault of mine.

2) I change my mind and I do it often.

3) I am very forgetful.  I blame this on my 4 kids :)

4) I met my husband dragging main in Logan, Ut and the first time I met him I didn't like him.  Just goes to show that you can't always trust your first opinion of someone.  We have been married now for almost 12 years.  And I still don't like him. HA HA! Just kidding! I love the guy!

5) Something most people don't know about me is I can't read a tape measure.  I know shocking!  I have just winged it my whole life and my husband always teases me and says "ah your within an 1/8th that's close enough"  If I am working on something that has to be perfectly laid out he lends a hand.

6) I am a prankster and a HUGE smart ass! I don't always think before I speak and will just blurt out some of the craziest thoughts and opinions. Which brings me to,

7) I am honest. Sometimes too honest. Like I said it just comes out. Most of my friends love this about me, but as I am sure you know some people just can't handle the truth.  Love me or hate me I am going to be me!

Now....Here are the blogs that I have chosen to pass this award on to!

April Sign

I have been so busy working on finishing my basement in my house that I haven't had much time to do any crafts. If I had been thinking I could have taken some pictures and done a "how to" on staining and glazing trim or glazing walls.  I am still not done so maybe there is still the chance for that.  I have an amazing brother in law that works for Salt Lake Mill and he got us a great deal on knotty alder trim.  If you are interested in trim or interior or exterior doors, treads for stairs, or hand rail let me know and I will get you his info.  I should do a whole post just about him.  HMM I wonder if he would share his profits with me?  LOL 

Well April is here and so that means a new sign for the porch post.  I was thinking this months would just be something simple...HA!  It took FOREVER applying all that vinyl and getting it straight and repeating the process many many times for the signs I have ordered.  Thank goodness my hubby is willing to lend a hand.  I'm a lucky girl!  Well here it is.  A little different than I usually do but variety is good!

Subway art is very popular right now and I really like it.  I actually bought this layout from My vinyl designer  They offer so many new layouts of subway art.  I also did something new with the paint.  I painted it an off white color, but I am sick of the bright white on my signs so I wanted to make it look old and dirty so I glazed it.  I think the dirty look of the wood looks cool with the bright colors of the vinyl.  HAPPY EASTER!!
